View Large Image Chocolate Chip Muffins Recipe Get ingredients: 8 oz (1 cup) butter (unsalted, any temperature) 4 eggs (large, room temperature) 2 tbsp baking powder 2 tsp baking soda 2 tbsp vanilla extract 15 oz (2 cups minus 2 tbsp) milk (room temperature) 2 tbsp vinegar 18 oz (3 cups) chocolate chips (semi-sweet) 22.5 oz (5 cups) flour (all-purpose) 14 oz (2 cups) sugar (white, granulated) 1 tsp salt digital scale muffin cups muffin trays large mixing bowl medium mixing bowl large whisk small whisk spatula large cookie scoop (1/4 cup) 1 tbsp, 1 tsp Melt 8 oz (1 cup) butter in the microwave at 40% power for 2 minutes (or until melted). Set aside and let cool. (If the butter is hot when you add it to the other ingredients, it will start cooking the ingredients.) Place the muffin cups into the muffin tray. If there's anything in the oven, take it out. Set the oven to bake, 420° F (216° C). Add to large mixing bowl: 22.5 oz (5 cups) flour 2 tbsp baking powder 2 tsp baking soda 1 tsp salt 18 oz (3 cups) chocolate chips (optionally, set a few handfuls aside to decorate the tops of the muffins later) Whisk until mixed (less than 30 seconds). Set aside. Add to small bowl: 4 eggs Whisk until consistent (less than 30 seconds). Set aside. Add to medium mixing bowl: 15 oz (2 cups minus 2 tbsp) milk 2 tbsp vinegar melted butter 14 oz (2 cups) sugar eggs 2 tbsp vanilla Whisk until mixed (about 1 minute). Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir with a spatula until just combined (the dry ingredients should all be wet). Do not overmix. Using the cookie scoop, scoop the batter into the muffin cups. The cups should be about 3/4 full. Remove any unused muffin cups from the muffin trays. Optionally, add extra chocolate chips on top of each muffin. Place the trays in the oven on the middle rack. Set a timer for 5 minutes. When the timer is done, set the oven temperature to 375° F (191° C). Set a timer for 12-15 minutes (or until a toothpick comes out clean). If the tops of the muffins are jelly-ish and don't bounce back, they aren't done. When the timer is done, remove the trays from the oven. Turn off the oven. Let cool in the tray for a few minutes. Remove from the tray and let cool on a wire rack for about 5-10 minutes.
