OFF TOPIC: Any Baker's out there? Choc Chip Cookie question
I've been looking for a choc chip cookie recipe that makes cookies that are thick (not flat) and soft and chewy (not crispy). I've tried a few recipes in the past but the cookies even though some had the look I was going for, tasted too bland. Ive narrowed it down to these two but have some questions/reservations..
http://www.food.com/recipe/thick-sof...cookies-100727 The one above, I worry about the too much brown sugar taste. The following one, I see that it has only 1/2 cup of butter, almost all other recipes I've come across have 1 cup of butter or 1/2 cup butter with 1/2 shortening, different ratios but the final end amount is 1 cup. With only 1/2 cup I wonder if these will be bland. I LOVE the look of them in the pic though! http://www.thekitchenmagpie.com/choc...-thick-n-chewy Thanks |

About 10 years ago, I did a big chocolate chip cookie experiment. I probably tried out 30+ recipes. I ended up using this one http://allrecipes.com/recipe/soft-ch...ip-cookies-ii/ as the basis and played with the ingredients for my now 'secret' recipe. I can't tell you all my secrets but I can give you this information.
If you use 1 cup of butter (or 1/2 cup butter and 1/2 cup shortening) to 2 cups of flour, you should get the consistency you are looking for. They will be more soft and chewy with the butter/shortening mix. One thing that helps is to chill the dough (at least 4 hours) before baking and don't preheat the oven before putting the cookie sheet in. |
