Chocolate Chip Cookies

February 4, 2016 by Maureen Lucas Leave a Comment

There have to be hundreds of chocolate chip cookie recipes out there but this basic recipe comes out chewy and crispy every time and I see no reason to mess with it.  I have tried many variations over the years but I made these recently and they were just plain good.  Try using bittersweet chips which are slightly bigger than the regular ones.  A good brand is Ghirardelli bittersweet chips which are 60% cacao.  A dozen cookies should easily fit on a cookie sheet giving you a cookie that’s the perfect size.
