zinger60 Posts: 1034	Posted: Sunday December 05, 2010 4:37 PM I have tried the Toll House recipe and many that come on the back of chocolate chip bags but they all seem to spread too much and are very crispy. I don't want ones that are like cake but I don't want them hard and crispy either. Anyone got a really good recipe?

beanie70 Posts: 2342	Posted: Sunday December 05, 2010 6:31 PM I absolutely love the one on the back of the Butter Flavored Crisco sticks or can. I've been using this for as long as I can remember. If you haven't tried this one, let me know and I'll post the recipe.

bunnywoman Posts: 13603	Posted: Sunday December 05, 2010 7:32 PM Mine are always nice and chewy. I am not a fan of crunchy chocolate chip cookies. I told my cake buddies that I take royalties for them because they were selling them. LOL! LOL!

Posted: Sunday December 05, 2010 10:16 PM I've always used the Toll House recipes, and the only times I had problems spreading was when the butter was too soft. I've found I only need to let the butter soften on the counter for about 30 minutes (up to 1 hour during the winter) to keep ANY of my cookies from spreading. And if I feel the batter is still to "thin" I add an extra 1/4 cup of flour. Another trick... your cookie sheet has to be completely cool before spooning out the batter. I have three sheets that I rotate. One in the oven, one cooling, one being prepped. Also, check your oven temp. It might be cooking really hot, which can also crisp the cookies too much. Depending on the temp, you just might need to bake in smaller time increments (instead of 11 minutes, maybe check at 9 minutes).

Posted: Tuesday December 07, 2010 11:08 AM Here is the recipe I use. I usually have to make more then I need because I will just stand around and eat the dough! Chocolate Chip Cookies 3 cups flour 1t baking soda 1/2 t salt 1 cup butter 1 cup granulated sugar 1 cup brown sugar 1 1/2 t vanilla 2 eggs 2 cups chocolate chips 3/4 cup walnuts (if desired) In small bowl combine flour, baking soda and salt; set aside. In mixer, cream butter and sugar together until fluffy. Add vanilla and eggs. Beat well. Add dry ingredients to creamed mixture. Mix well. Add chocolate chips and nuts; mix well. Take a heaping tablespoon of dough and roll into ball. Place on ungreased cookie sheet 2" apart. Bake 8-10 min at 360. I usually put a heel or two of bread in the container with the cookies to keep then nice and soft for about 2-3 weeks but they usually don't last that long in my house!!

Posted: Tuesday December 07, 2010 3:24 PM Here is a recipe that I've used and really like. CHOCOLATE LOVERS COOKIES 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 3/4 teaspoon salt 1 cup butter or margarine, softened 3/4 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar 1/2 cup granulated sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 egg 1/4 cup sour cream 1 1/3 cups Baker's semi-sweet chocolate chips 1 cup coarsely chopped nuts Mix flour with baking soda and salt. Cream butter. Gradually beat in sugars and continue beating until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Blend in vanilla, egg and sour cream. Gradually add flour mixture, beating until smooth. Stir in chips and nuts. Using scant 1/4 cup for each, drop onto uncrossed baking sheets, 2 inches apart. Bake at 375 degrees or 12 minutes or until lightly browned. Carefully remove sheets; cool on racks. Makes 2 dozen large cookies. (I use a whole package of chocolate chips.)

Posted: Tuesday December 07, 2010 5:16 PM Oh my gosh!!!! So many Chocolate Chip Cookie recipes to choose from. Thanks to all who have graciously shared. Here is mine. Took me many a tries to get this just right. This is MY recipe that I developed. My friend was selling these in Texas. I told her...."I take royalities." LOL! My cousin says I need to patent it. Bunny's Chocolate Chip Cookies 1 1/3 cup shortening (293 grams) (I use butter flavored Crisco.) 1 1/3 cup butter- softened (293 grams) 2 cups sugar 2 cups packed brown sugar (dark or light.....doesn't matter) 4 large eggs 4 tsp vanilla (I always splash in a little extra for kicks!) 6 1/2 cups all purpose flour 2 tsp baking soda 2 tsp salt 1 small package instant vanilla pudding 1/3 c. milk 12 oz chocolate chips (I use way more than this!!!) Preheat oven to 375*F Mix thoroughly shortening, butter, sugar, eggs, milk and vanilla. Sift together flour, soda, and salt. (ok….the "proper way" is to sift these, but who am I kidding? I never sift unless absolutely necessary. It is NOT absolutely necessary to sift this.) Here is what I do….either of the two ways: 1. Measure out all dry ingredients into a large bowl. Take a wire whisk and stir them all together to combine nicely. I use a spoonula to transfer the dry ingredients to my mixer bowl. 2. Measure out all of my dry ingredients and place into a large gallon sized Ziploc baggy. Squish the air out and seal. Shake the baggy vigorously to combine all ingredients. Dump into the mixer bowl as you would when making buttercream icing. Add to mixer bowl slowly so as not to wear it!! Drop dough on a parchment lined (or ungreased) cookie sheet. Bake 11-12 minutes or until light brown. DO NOT OVERBAKE! Cool on cookie sheet for 2 minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely. Makes about 5.5 dozen cookies using a medium sized cookie scoop. IMPORTANT!!!! If you just freeze them in Ziploc baggies, when you take them out of the freezer to thaw ……DO NOT OPEN THE BAG!!!!! Leave it closed and let it come to room temperature on your countertop out of direct heat. This will retain the moisture of the cookie and therefore keep them chewier longer. If you open the bag right away they will be a more crunchy cookie. VARIATIONS: I have used: 1. instant chocolate pudding and add white chocolate chips 2. instant vanilla pudding and peanut butter chips 3. instant vanilla pudding and butterscotch chips 4. instant vanilla pudding and M&M’s 5. instant chocolate pudding and peanut butter chips 6. instant chocolate pudding and cocoa powder…I call them my “DEATH by CHOCOLATE “ cookies. (I remove ¾ c of flour and replace it with ¾ c of cocoa powder and add in an extra splash of milk.) either semi sweet chocolate chips or white chocolate chips. 7. instant butterscotch pudding and white chocolate chips 8. instant pumpkin spice pudding and white chocolate chips + 1 tsp. cloves, 1 tsp. nutmeg, 2 tsp cinnamon 9. instant lemon pudding and white chocolate chips Mix and match and come up with your own favorite flavor combinations!!! Happy Baking! Bunnywoman
