Give me your favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe!
 

I'm about to make some chocolate chip cookies... Anyone got a recipe for me? My last ones didn't turn out so well.

its all about how you prep the buds and butter first.

make the pot-butter and i dont care what kind of cookies you make just use my butter and youll be fucked up all day

The one on the side of the nestle bag is still the best.

Now if you like them more cake like or more crisp just adjust fat type and or soda.

My cookie recipe:

Start car
drive to store
buy cookies
drive home
eat cookies.

I've always made the ones on the back of the Toll House chip bag.

If you want them to look better than they taste, use the butter flavored Crisco instead of real butter because they have more "body" that way IMHO - they don't spread into thin cookies. But the real butter TASTES better :)

I just took my kid about 4 dozen of the Toll House ones you just break off and bake - he sold most of them for $.25 each so they must have been OK :thumbsup

Peaches reason your butter version is not turning out too cake like is your warming the butter to much when mixing. Start with damn cold butter, then put batter back in fridge again for a little bit before baking. Its a process that happens, the butter is melting to fast and spreading before your rising agents are given a chance to rise and make little fat pockets.

Crisco of course has a higher melting point and therefor more flexability in temps. Yet the taste is kind of icky to me.

Dont cook them for the time stated. minus 3 mins from the time. Get some nice soft cookies.

By the way here ya go on the nestle tollhouse one.
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks, 1/2 pound) butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated [white] sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
2 cups (12-ounce package) NESTLE TOLL HOUSE Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels
1 cup chopped nuts
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Combine flour, baking soda and salt in small bowl. Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla in large mixer bowl. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition; gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in morsels and nuts. Drop by rounded tablespoon onto ungreased baking sheets.

BAKE in preheated 375-degree [Fahrenheit] oven for 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown. Let stand for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.

PAN COOKIE VARIATION: PREPARE dough as above. Spread into greased 15"x10" jelly-roll pan. Bake in preheated 375-degree [Fahrenheit] oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool in pan on wire rack.

FOR HIGH ALTITUDE BAKING (>5,200 feet): INCREASE flour to 2 1/2 cups; add 2 teaspoonfuls water with flour; reduce both granulated sugar and brown sugar to 2/3 cup each. Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit, drop cookies for 8 to 10 minutes and pan cookies for 17 to 19 minutes.

Ah, I'll try that! Yeah, I always let my butter get to room temp - bad idea, eh? :(

I actually like mine more on the crisp side. I do however know how to make them come out crisp, cakey, ect. Baking is mostly like chemistry.

Yup, melts to fast and spreads. i.e. Very thin crisp cookies.

I can give you my favorite Brownie recipe :thumbsup

Thanks, guys :) The Nestle Tollhouse recipe is one of my favorites too... but I didn't buy Nestle chips this time. ;p so i didn't have it.

It is the original and still the best. Of course variations aint bad.

Woman who made it was insane to trade is for a lifetime supply of nestle chocolate.

I don't have a favorite recipe, other than the one on the back of my bag of Hershey's chocolate chips in the kitchen. I really hate hard cookies so here's a couple tips instead. lol

Replace the butter with applesauce instead. Yes, I'm serious. Sounds kinda nasty, but you can't taste the applesauce when they're done. In the end, you get a lower-fat cookie that stays soft.

Another way to keep your cookies soft is to store them in a container with a piece of bread.

I feel like Martha Stewart now.

*grabs boob* Yep, you feel just like her! :1orglaugh

Really though.. the applesauce thing sounds cool. I might try it.. I've bookmarked this thread in my "recipes" folder...

i dont have a recipe though but i love eating choc'l8 chip cookies . . . .

feels like heaven . . . . ..

I only use the premade dough. Then I can't fuck it up.
