We've had my Mom and stepdad in town for the last few weeks, and as a belated birthday gift I made my Mom some chocolate chip cookies to take back to the Midwest with them.
Didja have to take all of them, Mom?
And yes, they were good, especially right out of the oven with a glass of milk.
UPDATE: Thanks for the link, Gail!
Basically, you can tweak the recipe on a chocolate chip package, and add a little extra baking soda. Take the time to mix these by hand- first cream the butter and sugars together, then add the eggs and vanilla. Stir in the salt and baking soda, then add the rest of the ingredients. Taste the batter before you portion them, there should be just enough salt to increase the succulence of the batter without it actually tasting salty.
Use parchment paper!
These are awesome! Laura has made them too and they always come out perfectly.
That's right! I forgot that you had the recipe.
where's the recipe???
Just take the toll house cookie recipe and increase the soda, salt and vanilla a bit, and decrease the chips by about 25%. A friend made me swear to never divulge the exact recipe, but this is really close.
You're just a cook tease.
Yoiks! I had to read that twice.
I use the Giradelli ones but they always come out flat because I pack the sugar too tight and fluff the flour too much. I like recipes with ounces. Better yet, grams!! I'm going to go look at my king Arthur recipe and compare it to Toll House but use Ghiradelli chips. In France.
Giradelli are fine. If they're too flat, you might try a slightly higher temp- more oven spring and the outsides will start to set up a little more quickly, so they don't have as much time to spread.
Ahhh! That looks so good!
I stole 3 of his mom's cookies. While they were warm. She will never know.
I loves me the chocolate chip cookies, Chile. They were great.
And Julie, I'm telling. Unless you share them 50/50.
I might add a couple of my tricks , toast the nuts and also toast some coriander seeds and grind them up to add to the cookies
