How do you make chocolate chip cookies without melting the chocolate chips?

Answer 1

Eat the dough raw!! LOL (only if the eggs are pasteurized). Heat + chocolate = melting. Use actual Chocolate Chips instead of chunks of chocolate. They will melt, but firm up as the cookie cools.

Answer 2

Because cookies have butter or some other kind of shortening in them, when they bake, that ingredient gets very hot. When you pull them out of the oven, they're still baking! To prevent melting, pull them out sooner. Most recipes will give a time range (like 20-25 min) for baking. Favor the shorter time.

If you're concerned about, say, a Hershey's Kiss melting too much, try adding it halfway through the baking process.

Answer 3

Many ingredients can impact the texture of your cookies. Using shortening instead of butter can help prevent the cookies from going flat, you can also make sure your cookie dough is cold before placing it in the oven.
