This recipe is very similar to Nestle's Original recipe (last weeks cookie) with a few minor adjustments like more vanilla and flour. Si also gives lots of great cookie tips and techniques to make your cookies really come together perfectly. I still use lots of her tips no matter what recipe I'm making. This is a great time to realize the importance of ingredients and technique! Throughout this adventure we can learn what ingredients make a big impact and what tips and techniques help make your cookies really stand out.
My tips for A Bountiful Kitchen's Tried and True Chocolate Chip Cookies-Don't add too much flour!, I was cautious and added too much flour just in case. Test your dough and see if it really needs it! Follow her tips and tricks, I really do think most of them make a difference. I honestly liked these cookies best the day after making them! They were SO delicious! This recipe really makes the chocolate shine. The soft cookie base is not really in your face and can let the chocolate have all the attention. I did my favorite mix of semi-sweet chocolate chips and milk chocolate chips (trust me you'll want 4 packs!)!
I loved that you can add all the flour and chocolate chips in at the same time.
Si recommends to flatten the dough balls like this!
I tested one pan this way and the other pans I left just the cookie scoop. I didn't notice any difference.
Tips of Si's that I use all the time: don't overmix the dough-pulse dough, never turn the mixer on high with cookie dough-only until just incorporated!, and never let your butter sit at room temperature for more than 30 minutes. If you make these "mistakes" or your cookies don't turn out like you'd like don't be discouraged I tried too-many-to-count chocolate chip cookie recipes while trying to perfect them years ago. I almost swore them off because I just didn't think I was a cookie making lady. Fast forward to almost a decade + of experimenting and trying recipe after recipe I've learned that it has a lot to do with technique! Sometimes it just takes time to figure out what works for you!
A perfect cookie to me could also be a not so perfect cookie to you! Some like them crunchy, soft, gooey, different chocolate(s), no salt, add in a special ingredient, etc. Find what YOU like! That's why we're on this hunt! We're trying to figure out what works for us and what we like!
Next week we're baking the lovely Wendy Paul's Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe!
