Have you ever heard about the worst chocolate chip cookies? What makes them worse? Most people prefer crunchy cookies. In contrast, these are extremely soft cookies, ideal for those who choose their cookies to be chewy, moist, and buttery.

The Worst Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe includes maple syrup, which gives a different flavor to these cookies. These cookies taste freshly baked even a week after they are baked because there is a tiny portion of cornstarch in the batter, which keeps them soft and chewy for days.

This might be why these chocolate chip cookies are called the worst. Only a specific category of people tends to love this type of cookie. They even refuse the packed cookies over these.

What Will You Love About This Recipe?

Softness and chewiness are two other specifications that make them more appealing. The crispy corners and chewy interior make them perfect.

You can make the cookies and store them for up to a week. They last oven-fresh to be enjoyed.

Instructions for Making Worst Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

Step 1

Take a big bowl, melt butter, and add sugars to it.

Step 2

One egg at a time, add and mix rapidly until well blended.

Step 3

Put maple syrup and vanilla essence in it and stir.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, mix the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

Stir the flour mixture into the wet ingredients gradually until it is well mixed.

Step 6

Add chocolate chips and stir.

Step 7

Wrap a transparent sheet over the bowl and let it cool for at least half an hour.

Step 8

While the dough is chilling, prepare the oven by preheating it to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) and lining cookie sheets with baking parchment.

Step 9

About two tablespoons of cookie dough should be scooped, then rolled into balls that are somewhat higher than wide. On the prepared cookie sheet, spread them apart by at least 2 inches.

Step 10

After baking for around 13 minutes, the cookies will appear somewhat underdone, but the edges should be beginning to become golden brown.

Step 11

Let the cookies cool fully on the cookie sheet.

Step 12

Press a few chocolate chips gently on top of the heated cookies if you want to do so.

Step 13

Before putting the next batch in the oven, store the unbaked cookie dough in the refrigerator. Avoid placing the cookie dough on a hot baking sheet.

Recipe Variations

Nuts: You can add nuts like chopped walnuts, almonds, cashew nuts, etc. for crunch.
Brown sugar: Adding brown sugar in place of granulated sugar can enhance the flavor of cookies, as the combination of brown sugar and maple syrup provides an extraordinarily rich flavor.
Chocolate chips: You can use dark chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, or white chocolate chips depending upon your taste preferences.
Vanilla extract: If you don’t like vanilla flavor, you can omit it in the recipe. It will not affect the texture but slightly alter the flavor.
Gluten-free flour: You are free to replace all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour.

Recipe Tips

Here are some recipe tips for perfectly baked chocolate chip cookies. Use rich maple syrup, which is the vital ingredient here. It gives caramel flavor to the cookies, and you will be surprised to know that the cookies don’t taste the flavor of maple.

Taking a combination of brown sugar and granulated sugar can result in more scrumptious, crumbled, and soft cookies.

Properly chill your dough before baking. If your dough is not chilled, place it in the refrigerator for more minutes. Otherwise, your cookies might spread on the baking sheet. Don’t overheat the butter for the dough. Your cookies will spread more than necessary if you do this as well.
