OT: Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipes

[Kaylore]

Does anyone have any good Chocolate Chip cookie recipes? I'm obsessed with them and am so tired of buying them or begging my relatives to bring me some that I'd like to bake my own. I like the ones that are big, flat and round - not those ball shaped ones that are all small that you see at group functions.

Not These:

I like them however they come. Chocolate, Dough, hmmmmmmmmmmmm.....

[smalltowngrll]

The recipe on the Crisco Butter sticks is awesome!!! Yum yum....

[Kaylore]

The recipe on the Crisco Butter sticks is awesome!!! Yum yum.... It's pretty good?

[heydensmom]

It is very good, but the best ones are the premade Nestle ones! No mess just bake. a BIG hint!!! Don't cook them all the way, when you take them out of the oven a few minute early, with the sugars the will still bake. Which is usually why most are hard. So take them out early.

[smalltowngrll]

It's pretty good?

OH YEAH!! I gain 50 pounds just looking at them!

[heydensmom]

Also this one is very good!!

[ksBRONCOfan]

Once I find it, I've got a recipe for "Heavenly Chocolate Chip Cookies" that are unbeatable. They use a little bit of instant coffee grounds. Mmmm.

[Sassy]

I've got a great recipe too...it's a little more "work" but well worth it...just have to find it! ;D

[Borks147]

Also this one is very good!!

Ha! That's the one I was looking for!

[ksBRONCOfan]

1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup butter, melted
2 tbsp instant coffee granules
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 egg yolk
1 (12 oz) package semi-sweet chocolate morsels
1 cup walnut halves (optional)

Combine first 3 ingredients; stir well. Stir together butter & coffee granules until dissolved. Combine butter mixture, sugars, egg & yolk in a large bowl. Beat at medium spead with mixer until blended. Gradually add flour mixture; beat at low speed just until blended. Stir in chocolate morsels and walnut halves.

These sound awesome...only I'd do it with milk chocolate and pecans ;D

[heydensmom]

I want cookies now!

[Sassy]

Hey that's a different recipe than the one I have and it's also called Neiman Marcus Choc. Chip Cookies...mine has blended oatmeal and shaved hershey's chocolate. I'll have to find it.

[Ray Finkle]

Hey Kaylor,
My mother in law makes them using apple sauce instead of butter. I will get the recipe for you, it sounds gross as hell but it's amazing....

[Billy Clyde Puckett]

The best recipe used to be the original Toll House cookie recipe on the back of the Nestle's chocolate chips bag. Need to adjust a little for the altitude - probably a couple of TBSN of extra flour will do.

[phisig150]

Costco makes a good cookie dough.

[Sassy]

Have you guys ever tried Papy Murphy's cookie dough? That stuff is good.

I like that one too. My mom has some kind of special cookie sheets that get hot quickly so that the cookie get's cooked through without the bottoms burning.

Air Bake......they're awesome!

[Kaylore]

This is awesome. I can't wait to try it. The advice about pulling them out early really helps because some of my cookies I've pulled when they are just getting brown and then they end up being too hard.

Some more questions:

Does the coffee make the cookies taste coffee-ish? I'm LDS and don't drink coffee.

What are the advantages of using margarine, butter and shortening?

Baking powder or Soda?

[Sassy]

Real butter is a definite must in baking.
Just all around tastes better!

[heydensmom]

I've made those cookies a few times, and never use the coffee, and they still taste good. Yes use real butter or crisco butter flavor stuff.

It doesn't taste like coffee at all, but it definitely adds a great flavor.

I use margarine because my wife is lactose intolerant. The cookies still taste great.

Use what the recipe calls for, baking powder and soda do different things.

[Crowpointer]

Just buy them in that food court that you work in.

[Kaylore]

Just buy them in that food court that you work in. I don't work in the food court, I eat there. And if you read my first post I'm tired of buying them at paradise bakery. Why buy, when you can make them yourself?

Okay, I know you're looking for recipes but BEFORE YOU DO....you have GOT to go buy a bag of these cookies.

It was strange asking my wife were she put the cookie recipe and explaining that I was going to post it on the Mane.

[Sassy]

Hey I'll trade you my 29 choc chips and 3 heavenlies for your 15 crisco bars - I just couldn't stand this much longer if it didn't at least hint at football.

Maybe we can change the name to "ultimate tailgater cookies," would that help?

The Neiman Marcus cookie didn't exist until after the rumor was started. That explains all the variation of the recipe.

[Sassy]

Interesting...but it's still one of my favorites!

[ksBRONCOfan]

Looks like a good recipe, that's a crap load of cookies in one batch.

[heydensmom]

Interesting...but it's still one of my favorites!
Mine too...all this cookie talk...I may make some this weekend.

[Sassy]

Mine too...all this cookie talk...I may make some this weekend.
I was thinking about tomorrow! ;D
These freeze well, too!
Of course, only if one doesn't eat them all first :thumbs:

Ok...I halfed this today and used carmel swirl choc. chips and no nuts...oh yeah and about a tsp. of ground up millstone hazelnut coffee ;D

[ksBRONCOfan]

So I take it they turned out great?

[Sassy]

So I take it they turned out great?
Yep! I've had several batches come out of the oven already and they've been taste tested ;D
What sucks....they have now downsized choc. chips to 10 oz. packages instead of 12 oz like they use to be.

[Kaylore]

This thread rules.

Now Sassy....are you going to share with everyone!!!

[Sassy]

Now Sassy....are you going to share with everyone!!!
Word of advice...don't overbake...I think I did the last few batches and they were fine until today...kind of crunchy but they soften up in the mike.

Do you mean milk?

[ksBRONCOfan]

Do you mean milk?
I'm guessing microwave.

[heydensmom]

Sassy---remember take them out a bit early!

[Kaylore]

Sassy---remember take them out a bit early!
Yes! This is huge. I always waited until they started to just get a little golden and that's actually too late because they keep cooking on the tray. A minute or too early will ensure they don't go crunchy on you.

[Sassy]

Sassy---remember take them out a bit early!
Yeah...I'm usually good about it...but this time I was doing a zillion other things and missed the timer going off a few times! ;D...not to mention having the Pietasters blasting! LOL!

...and I did mean Microwave...coffee works too though! Ha!

[ksBRONCOfan]

Now you need to make her some cookies!
Well two months later I finally got off my lazy arse to make some of these damn delicious cookies. I predict they will all be gone before I get home from work tomorrow.

Classic on so many levels. She can weild a knife! Cookies are notorious for drying out you gotta watch them. They should still be soft when you take them out.

WHy classic?
I'm a great cook and baker ;D
But it doesn't mean I don't cheat every once in awhile.

[ksBRONCOfan]

I'm a great cook and baker ;D

My next task is mastering BBQ and smoking. I'm going to get a pit smoker for my house and my brother and I are going to build a large pit smoker on a trailer.

MMM - try cooking a whole lamb on it sometime - the meat falls off the bone and is as rich as butter.

[Billy Clyde Puckett]

Lazy folk. :) I can make cookies or cake from scratch almost as easy as cheating and ten times better. Just use the Toll House recipie from the back of Nestle Choc Chip bag. My ten year old now makes brownies from scratch that are great.

I use the recipe on the back of the Hershey's Milk Chocolate chips. ;D

LOL! I actually prefer brownies from a mix! Not sure why.

I'm loading up the crockpot with potato chowder tonight ;D

[dnvrbrncos]

The type of fat you use largely determines the type of cookie you end up with as a result of the different melting points. Butter will make a thin, somewhat crispy cookie, margarine a little less so, and crisco (with the highest melting point) will give you a round chewy experience. Remember, baking is a science - cooking is an art. Which is to say anyone willing to study a bit can learn to bake. Finding a recipe which is listed by weight as opposed to volume will also make a big difference.

I buy those same big ones in a bag fresh at Albertsons bakery ... 20 or 30 for $3.99.

A little pricey, but they're so good, they make me go :haw!: !

[Billy Clyde Puckett]

Kind of in between - Best with walnuts

1/2 c butter
1 c sugar
2 eggs
1 t vanilla
2/3 c flour
1/2 c cocoa
1/2 t baking powder
1/2 t salt
1/2 c chopped walnuts

8X8 pan - 350 for 30 min - frost if you like (of course you double the recipie or they will be gone before they cool off. :)

Best cookbook ever - Betty Crocker Cookie Book (red cover with pictures of asst cookies) originally printed in 1963 but reprinted a couple of years ago after the originals were selling for $300 at used book stores.
You can probably find the new print on Amazon or Barnes and Noble.

[heydensmom]

Heck yeah I cheat on baking, I don't bake don't like it....but now we talk cooking....that's a different story
