I LOVE chocolate chip cookies! My favorite are thick and chewy. I also love any Levain copycat (and the real deal, of course)!
Yes!
Chewy for sue, with chopped roasted pecans.
Yum!
We love the DOUBLETREE SIGNATURE chocolate chip cookie RECIPE! Loaded with chips and walnuts!
Glad you like that recipe!
I love chocolate chip cookies! The best are chewy in the middle with browned edges and sea salt sprinkled on top!
Perfect!
Love, love, love the cookies found in the NY Times Cooking titled – Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies- they are crispy and chewy. The scoops of dough is rolled and refrigerated over night which forms the crispy layer on the outside when baked. So Yummy!
Those are good!
My family and I prefer a puffy, chewy ccc with lots of chocolate chips! Our favorite recipe is from your cookbook. I made the Doubletree ccc recipe yesterday for the first time. Tasty for sure, but prefer the other one.
Thanks so much! Glad you like the cookies!
hey y’all- great list! I enjoy seeing the skiing pics. So pretty! I would so love to visit Utah someday. I have to have me some chocolate chip cookies! a little crispy, a little chewy, thin and lots of chocolate chips!!! yes please……
Thanks!
I don’t like too much chocolate in my chocolate chip cookies and LOVE nuts–pecans or walnuts. YUM
My son Caleb doesn’t like a lot of chocolate either:)
I am always searching for an amazing chocolate chip cookie recipe! I don’t like them thin or crispy. Thick, slightly salty, chocolatey, a little bit soft and dense… that’s where it’s at!
YUM!
This right here! None of that crispy business. 🙂
Our family favorite comes from the back of the Ambrosia chocolate chips you can get from Costco. I’ve made different recipes ( including Levain) and did a blind taste taste, and this recipe still won! There’s a high butter to sugar ratio, only 1 egg, and is baked at a slightly higher temp so the cookies don’t spread too much. I always chill the dough for 24 hours and break off chunks rather than pressing dough into a cookie scoop.
Thanks! I will have to try it!
My favorite is a slightly thick and chewy cookie, maybe with crisp edges, and definitely sprinkled with salt and not too sweet. Maybe a mix of different % cacao chocolates. Never milk chocolate, and 99% of the time, NO nuts.
haven’t had a haircut since september!! :0(
and coincidentally – I just made my appointment for a cut this morning….
I prefer a slightly cakey chocolate chip cookie that has mini chips. I’m not much for a mouthful of dark chocolate. I’ve made levain copycats and I’ve enjoyed them (but never had the real thing…)
although my preference is listed above, I’ve NEVER turned away a soft chewy buttery chocolate chip cookie either!!! :0)
The NYT Jacques Torres cookies are probably our favorite, want a chewy cookie with lots of chocolate chips!
Thick and chewy- cooks illustrated
They are perfect, no need to refrigerate- so
Good. Always always get compliments
Your chocolate lovers chocolate chip cookie is our absolute favorite!
Those are good:)
