This past week I was craving chocolate chip cookies- a craving that strikes me often... This craving got me thinking about chocolate chip cookie recipes, and how I've never made one that I've been in love with- most likely because I just haven't tried that many recipes out. Usually I want immediate gratification and so instead of actually looking up a recipe, I just go with the one on the back of the chocolate chip bag- usually Nestle Tollhouse... and while it's decent, it could stand for much improvement. I mean, it makes great cookie dough (for eating before baking), and they are of course good when warm from the oven, but as they sit they become underwhelming. Everyone has different standards they hold their perfect chocolate chip cookie to, and my idea of a perfect chocolate chip cookie is one that's big and chewy, and stays chewy even after it cools..... and so I've decided to embark on a quest to find my personal favorite chocolate chip cookie. I've done some research and have a preliminary list of recipes I will try... and I'm sure I'll find more. I expect this to be a delicious journey, and at the end, I will hopefully find the best chocolate chip cookie known to man.
Here's a list of some of the recipes I'll be trying... If you have a favorite, let me know, and I'll add it to the list!
