CHOCO CHIPS FULL

It may not be exactly to your taste, but it is in no way a bad recipe. Everyone has a different idea of what a 'perfect' cookie is, but I absolutely can not see how someone could give this a bad review (one or two stars) if they followed the recipe. Mine had to bake for 13 minutes, but other than that, I followed the recipe exactly. Chewy in the middle, with crisp edges and the perfect amount of vanilla (if you use good quality extract). I think the dissolving of baking soda in water makes them stand taller than your typical cookie using all butter. This was the third recipe I tried and I think my search is over.

My old go to recipe called for a box of pudding mix, but the long list of unpronounceable ingredients on the pudding box was unnerving enough that decided to look for another recipe. It always baffles me how most chocolate chip cookies have pretty much the same ingredients, but the results can vary greatly. If not 'Best Chocolate Chip Cookies,' this recipe is certainly ONE of the best! I'm so proud of how these turned out and I'll be proud to send them with my husband tomorrow to his meeting.

I also used milk chocolate chips this time around, but that surely can't account for why these were so darn good and so pretty either.

of water was called for that I didn't use, I 'upped' the vanilla to a full tablespoon. hot water, just mixed it in with the flour-I also added 1/2 tsp. I didn't bother to mix the baking soda in the 2 tsp. They're rich and buttery, with crispy outsides, and a soft but chewey inside. First of all, they stay uniform in shape and size, which is important to me, and they're just the right thickness-not poofy little cakes, and not flat and spread out. I don't know if it was the convection oven or something else I'm missing, but these did not turn out to be fairly standard chocolate chip cookies! Rather, they were some of the best I've ever tried. I was baking in our second home today, where I have a convection oven (which I remain somewhat unfamiliar with). Looking over the ingredients list and the measurements of each, I recognized this as your fairly standard, classic chocolate chip cookie recipe-and I expected fairly standard results. I suggest to anyone if you are going to make cookies comparable to this recipe cut the flour down to 2 1/2 cups flour add full tablespoon of vanilla and up the brown sugar a bit. They looked good coming out but taste was a completely different story. I went back and tweaked this myself in hopes to save the rest of the batch. Unfortunately I had already placed a second pan in the oven before tasting the first batch. You can definitely tell there is way more flour because they are dryer and taste very bland. I noticed that this is basically the Tollhouse recipe with way more flour a little more sugar and brown sugar. The tweaked it according to how they wanted to make them then said they are great. I then went to look at the reviews posted and even though I only went through about 8 of them I noticed that every single person did NOT follow the recipe. After my first pan came out of the oven I tried them and noticed that they are NOT very good. I made this recipe due to the high rating it has been given. If not 'Best Chocolate Chip Cookies,' this recipe is certainly ONE of the best! Read More
