chocolate chip cookies
Chocolate chip cookies. If you don’t like them, you can just go home. Seriously. Go home. I can sit here and eat these all by myself without your negativity.
Some people prefer a glass of milk with their chocolate chip cookies. I think that’s a nice pairing. But a glass of chilled Pinot Grigio and chocolate chip cookies… now that’s what I call a good time.
I have tried many chocolate chip cookie recipes, and I pretty much picked out parts that I liked from a few, edited what I wanted, and made my favorite one. The three that influenced me the most were Nestle Tollhouse, Hershey, and Bon Appetite.
My goal was to make a cookie that had a fair cookie to chip ratio (I am usually not a fan of too many chips) and the perfect combination of chewy and crispy. You know when a cookie is a little crispy on the outside but gooey and chewy on the inside? That’s what I wanted for this recipe.
