Freeze or not freeze choc chip cookies?
Comments (7)Properly stored, butter-based cookies will stay fresh for WEEKS at room temp. I used to work in a very expensive bakery. We baked all our Christmas cookies the Monday after Thanksgiving. The cookies were stored in cardboard box bottoms--one flavor to a box--and the boxes were slid into large plastic bags and twist-tied. The cookies were still perfectly fresh weeks later (I know, I ate a LOT of them--LOL). No need to freeze them if you're using them Sunday and you have them stored in an air-tight container....See MoreRECIPE: Recipe: Triple Chocolate Chip Cookies
Comments (5)Trixie, I made some just like this for the tech support kids at my ISP-they are so happy to get them and I get lots of compliments on them. I think they are great too so know what you mean about saving some out for your family. The kids think the three different chips make a great treat-they are good too with some raspberry chips included also. RL`...See MoreNeed T&T for Choc Chip Cookies
Comments (7)I got this one of the Food Network site and have been using it ever since. My husband (who always ends up with flat cookies) even gets great chewy cookies. It really is a great recipe for kids since the butter is melted. It makes it very easy to put together (hard to mess up!). Chocolate Chip Cookies From Food Network Kitchens How to Boil Water, Meredith, 2006 This is such an easy chocolate chip cookie. No special equipment, no creaming--a perfect cookie to do with kids. 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter 3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar 3/4 cup sugar 2 large eggs 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 1 (12-ounce) bag semisweet chocolate chips, or chunks 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour 3/4 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon fine salt 1/2 cup chopped walnuts Evenly position 2 racks in the middle of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. (on convection setting if you have it.) Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone sheets. (If you only have 1 baking sheet, let it cool completely between batches.) Put the butter in a microwave safe bowl, cover and microwave on medium power until melted. (Alternatively melt in a small saucepan.) Cool slightly. Whisk the sugars, eggs, butter and vanilla in a large bowl until smooth. Whisk the flour, baking soda and salt in another bowl. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients with a wooden spoon; take care not to over mix. Stir in the chocolate chips or chunks. Scoop heaping tablespoons of the dough onto the prepared pans. Wet hands slightly and roll the dough into balls. Space the cookies about 2-inches apart on the pans. Bake, until golden, but still soft in the center, 12 to 16 minutes, depending on how chewy or crunchy you like your cookies. Transfer hot cookies with a spatula to a rack to cool. Serve. Store cookies in a tightly sealed container for up to 5 days....See MoreWaaaaaaah I've lost Sol's chocolate chip cookie recipe..Help!
Comments (12)granjan--On the Good Eats show about making chocolate chip cookies, Alton uses melted butter in the one he calls "The Chewy." The recipe has some other things that set it apart from a standard chocolate chip recipe (bread flour, 1 egg and 1 egg yolk, mostly brown sugar), so I guess melting the butter does indeed help with making chewy cookies. I use the recipe all the time (got a batch chilling as I type) because we prefer chewy cookies. By the way, my mother's name is Jan. My children call her Gran....See Morechas045
