Does anyone have a really good recipe for chocolate chip cookies? I've looked on the internet and of course most of the ingredients are pretty much the same, just in different quantities. When I make the recipe on the bag, they are totally flat. I like a crispie or chewy one, but not a really soft one. Anyone have any "secrets" to making a really good recipe? Thanks in advance.

I don't know if I'm too late on this thread, but Ree Drummond (The Pioneer Woman) posted a recipe a few weeks back that I've been dying to make...and then our a/c went out. But, it's
Malted Milk Chocolate Chip Cookies...yes, I know. I about passed out from the sheer joy of the title, too :)

I have a recipe I have made since 1950ish. It is made with Bisquick and makes a cake type chocolate chip cookie. It's the only type my hubbie really likes. Of course, I double or 4x the following recipe most of the time.
2 c Bisquick, 2/3 c sugar, 1 egg, 1/3 c milk, 1 tsp. vanilla. Mix well and add a bag of chocolate chips. You can also add dates, nuts, or peanut butter chips.
Drop on a greased or parchment lined cookie sheet and bake at 375 for 10 min or until lightly golden brown. |

These chocolate chunk cookies from Ina Garten are by far the best I've ever had. Everyone who has ever tried them just love them. Here is the link:

Hi Horselady,
In fact Alton Brown has two recipes for chocolate chip cookies. Here they are:
The Puffy
Recipe courtesy Alton Brown

2 1/2 dozen cookies.Ingredients

•2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Hardware:
•Ice cream scooper (#20 disher, to be exact)
•Parchment paper

•Mixer
Directions
Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Combine the shortening, sugar, and brown sugar in the mixer's work bowl, and cream until light and fluffy. In the meantime, sift together the cake flour, salt, and baking powder and set aside.
Add the eggs 1 at a time to the creamed mixture. Then add vanilla. Increase the speed until thoroughly incorporated.
With the mixer set to low, slowly add the dry ingredients to the shortening and combine well. Stir in the chocolate chips. Chill the dough. Scoop onto parchment-lined baking sheets, 6 per sheet.

I can't find the Alton Brown recipe. I looked on the foodnetwork site and didn't see one with his name.

Somewhere on a previous post a recipe for Alton Brown's chewy, Chocolate chip cookies was posted. That is the best recipe I have ever made for CC cookies. Let me know if you want it posted again and I will look for it or re post it. You will not regret trying these cookies!

Hi Rose, I've tweaked my favorite chocolate chip recipe until I got it the way I liked it. I'm with you I like crispy outside and chewy middle. I pull the cookies out when the edges are light brown but the middles are still mostly light (whiteish). That way by the time they have cooled the middle has cooked to chewy perfection. Hopefully that helps! I just made chocolate chip cookies last night :)

It's not a from scratch recipe, but you can make very good cookies with a cake mix.
yellow or white Pillsbury cake mix
2 eggs (or 3 egg whites)
1/3 cup oil or applesauce
Preheat oven to 375 F. In large bowl combine cake mix, oil, and eggs until thoroughly moistened. You can stir chocolate chips with the ingredients, also. You can drop or shape the dough into 1-inch bowls. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. The cookies may be flattened if you wish. Bake for 6-8 minutes until light golden brown.
I used the reduced sugar mixes sometimes. Any flavor cookie mix may be used for cookies.
