Kait of Kait’s Plate selected My Best Chocolate Chip Cookies for this week's Tuesday's with Dorie recipe.
Chocolate chip cookies are like brownies in that there are so many variations, from cakey to chewy to thick to thin to crispy to soft. It's hard to say that any one recipe is the best, because every one's definition of the best is different.
I thought Dorie's chocolate chip cookies (I'm going to call them "CCC" from here on out) were on the thin and crispy side. They were good, but I tend to like my CCC thicker and softer. I'm glad I tried these, though, it's always nice to have another data point in the quest to find the perfect (for me) chocolate chip cookies. Plus, a not-perfect CCC is better than no CCC at all, right?
OK, that's all for now, folks. Tomorrow and the next day I'll post the last two recipes in my "to bake" TWD list. After that, I'm all caught up and will have baked every recipe the group has baked since the beginning of TWD. Woo hoo! And yes, I'm an insane over achiever... woo hoo!
You can find the cookie recipe on Kait's blog, or in Dorie Greenspan's book "Baking, From my Home to Yours".
Your photo is cookbook perfect! You apparently over-achieve in many ways.
ReplyDeleteYour right... chocolate chip cookies should usually be eaten right coming out of the oven, for exactly that reason. Which in the end... is not soooo hard to do really! LOL
ReplyDeleteVery well done Jacque!
You over-achiever you - catching up on all those recipes!
ReplyDeleteI too think ccc are very subjective - and these weren't my favorite. So far, I'm hearing rave reviews about Alton Browns recipe, though - that'll be my next attempt.
I just caught up with all of your 8 days with Dorie posts--and I have to say how much I LOVED the picture of the white cake with the lovely chocolate curls--decorated so simple, yet beautiful! Great job on 8 days of baking! :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on completing this personal challenge! You did a great job :) I too am a fan of the thick and chewy ones!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cookies.
ReplyDeleteMy dough is chilling in the fridge.
Who does not like chocolate chip cookies just right out of the oven? Yummie!
ReplyDeleteYum they look good! This was a great recipe..easy and good!
ReplyDeleteMmm, they do look delicious!
ReplyDeleteThey look great! I can't believe you've caught up on baking. I've only been a member for a couple of months and I'm already behind!
ReplyDeleteI am like you...I like my cookies thicker and more chewy. Yours look wonderful. I have enjoyed following along on your marathon! :)
ReplyDeleteI've decided for this recipe that I enjoyed eating the cookie dough better than the baked cookie.

Ahh, just caught up on like your last 6-8 TWD rewinds. Awesome. Makes me want to bake, bake, bake! Sigh.
ReplyDeleteccc's--my fave. These, not my fave, but they certainly all got eaten!
