What better way to spend a Sunday that baking a batch of chocolate chip cookies from scratch? That's just what I did this morning with my brother's girlfriend. I'm a veteran baker in the cookie realm (well over a decade already) so I can almost bake these with my eyes closed*. This is one recipe I won't be sharing (sorry!) but here are a few tips on getting delicious cookies from any recipe you choose.
- Use Your Ears: When creaming sugar and butter make sure to work it until the sugar's mostly dissolved. You'll know you're there when you can't hear the scraping of the sugar against the bowl.
- No Such Thing As Enough Chocolate: 'Nuff said. (Though don't go crazy exaggerated, make sure there's still more batter than chips!)
- Raw is Good: Bring the cookies out when they're not quite done if you like your cookies slightly chewy. The heat left over in the cookie and from the pan will cook it the rest of the way.
*This would be a stupid move. Cookie sheets get hot. I'm not liable if you think this would be a bright idea.
