which is your favorite??? - Page 2

I use the same recipe as HoosierMom. It's really good.....and I can't remember where I found it either.

I use Nestle Toll House except with extra vanilla, pecans and milk chocolate chips.

I use the tollhouse receipe. I line my cookie sheets with parchment paper. I use a cookie scooper to drop them and bake them for 10 minutes. (I also use butter flavored crisco)

I love the one from the Ghiradelli chips. It's so delicious!

My son makes choco chip cookies using the recipe in the BC cookbook (cookbook is approx 15 years old) that are absolutely divine! In fact, they're so good I don't even bother making any anymore - just let him do all the work and enjoy the results. (perhaps that's part of why they taste so darn good *smile*)

you havent lived until you have had these cookies.... these are my favorite too.... BY FAR!

I added pudding to my cookie receipe a while back and they didn't like them, but after looking at the receipe i can see some differences. I am going to try hoosiermom's receipe. I will let you know how they like them.

Can you post this recipe? I can't get it because I'm not a member. TIA

This recipe is from America's test kitchen. I do the whole roll the ball, break in half, twist and put back together thing. These cookies have height and are really yummy! Also, I would never place cookies into a container with out a piece of bread in it to keep them moist.

Thick and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies
1/1996

These truly chewy chocolate chip cookies are delicious served warm from the oven or cooled. To ensure a chewy texture, leave the cookies on the cookie sheet to cool. You can substitute white, milk chocolate, or peanut butter chips for the semi- or bittersweet chips called for in the recipe. In addition to chips, you can flavor the dough with one cup of nuts, raisins, or shredded coconut.

Makes 1 1/2 dozen 3-inch cookies
2 1/8  cups bleached all-purpose flour (2 cups plus 2 tablespoons)
1/2  teaspoon table salt
1/2  teaspoon baking soda
12  tablespoons unsalted butter (1 1/2 sticks), melted aand cooled slightly
1  cup brown sugar (light or dark)
1/2  cup granulated sugar
1  large egg
1  large egg yolk
2  teaspoons vanilla extract
1 - 2  cups chocolate chips or chunks (semi or bittersweet)


1. Heat oven to 325 degrees. Adjust oven racks to upper- and lower-middle positions. Mix flour, salt, and baking soda together in medium bowl; set aside.

2. Either by hand or with electric mixer, mix butter and sugars until thoroughly blended. Mix in egg, yolk, and vanilla. Add dry ingredients; mix until just combined. Stir in chips.

3. Form scant 1/4 cup dough into ball. Holding dough ball using fingertips of both hands, pull into two equal halves. Rotate halves ninety degrees and, with jagged surfaces exposed, join halves together at their base, again forming a single cookie, being careful not to smooth doughs uneven surface. Place formed dough onto one of two parchment paper-lined 20-by-14-inch lipless cookie sheets, about nine dough balls per sheet. Smaller cookie sheets can be used, but fewer cookies can be baked at one time and baking time may need to be adjusted. (Dough can be refrigerated up to 2 days or frozen up to 1 monthshaped or not.)

4. Bake, reversing cookie sheets positions halfway through baking, until cookies are light golden brown and outer edges start to harden yet centers are still soft and puffy, 15 to 18 minutes (start checking at 13 minutes). (Frozen dough requires an extra 1 to 2 minutes baking time.) Cool cookies on cookie sheets. Serve or store in airtight container.

Mmmmmm! boy am I hungry for cookies. Thanks for all the great recipes. I need to get baking
