Chocolate Chip Cookies

Posted on by

The recipe for chocolate chip cookies uses a thick dough containing flour, sugar, vanilla essence, butter, baking soda, salt and of course, chocolate chips. The chocolate chips can be substituted for peanuts or oats and for a truly soft cookie recipe are baked for only a short amount of time to give them their famous doughy texture.

Since its birth, there have been many variations on the original Nestle toll house recipe. Double chocolate chip cookies are popular and substitute the vanilla flavoured dough for chocolate, giving the cookie an additional richness. Flavour combinations such as white chocolate with macadamia, toffee, oatmeal and raisin and peanut butter have all grown to become classics in their own right, tweaking the simple chocolate chip cookie recipe of 1933.

Today practically all commercial bakeries have their own variation of the chocolate chip cookies and many chains sell their own freshly baked-cookies on premises. Millie’s Cookies sells freshly baked cookies with a large selection of flavours to choose from.  Supermarkets stock favourites such as the Maryland cookie, designed to recreate the home-baked chocolate chip cookie recipe. Popular ice-cream brands such as Baskin & Robbins and Ben & Jerry’s have a chocolate chip cookie-dough flavoured ice cream, containing chunks of soft cookie dough in vanilla ice cream.

In 1997 Massachusetts paid homage to the chocolate chip cookie by declaring it the Official State Cookie, after it was proposed by a school in Somerset, Massachusetts. To make your own easy chocolate chip cookies, see our selection of quick cookie recipes at MyDish.

Question by Eternal Elevation: Does anyone have the actual recipe for Mrs. Fields Chocolate chip cookies?
I think they may have closed down all of the shops out where i live. So what more, ill just attempt to make them myself…
Thanks

Best answer:

Answer by Arun kumar
Ingredients

1 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
2 large eggs
2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups flour, all-purpose
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
6 ounces chocolate (semi-sweet)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350.

In a larger mixing bowl, cream the butter, sugars, eggs and vanilla well.

Sift together the flours, salt baking power and baking soda.

Combine the wet and dry ingredients.

Stir in the chocolate chips.

With your fingers place golf ball size dough portions 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake 9 minutes or until edges are light brown.

NOTE: It is very important you not exceed the cooking time given above, even if the cookies appear to be underbaked.

When the cookies are removed from the oven the sugar in them will stay hot and continue the cooking process.

The finished product should be soft in the middle and crunchy around the edges.

For variation of this cookie substitute milk chocolate for the semi sweet chocolate and or add 1 1/2 cups chopped walnut walnuts or macadamia nuts to the recipe before baking.

Although you can sub margarine for butter you will have the best results from butter.

The cookie will have a richer taste and will be crisper around the edges like the original.

Fancifull Gift Baskets Partners With Side Street Projects In “Have A Heart” Wine And Chocolate Fundraiser Event










Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) January 29, 2009

Recognizing the widespread appeal of Valentine’s Day and chocolate, internationally renowned Fancifull Gift Baskets, (http://www.fancifullgiftbaskets.com) a well-established artisan of customized gift baskets, today announced that it is teaming up with Alternate Routes, a division of Side Street Projects, (http://www.sidestreet.org) to help give back to the community and help expand the arts within inner city neighborhoods. By partnering with Alternate Routes, Side Street Projects’ creative woodworking program for kids ages 5 to 11, Fancifull Gift Baskets is helping give new meaning to the term ‘Have a Heart.’

“This time of year many folks are looking for a meaningful and heartfelt reason to celebrate Valentine’s Day,” said Terry August, founder and chief creative designer at Fancifull Gift Baskets. “Alternate Routes is an organization I love. You see these children using saws and drills, loving the act of creating, learning responsibility and a skill to boot. Their YouTube video is awe inspiring,” she added.

The chocolate and wine tasting fundraiser will take place on Friday, February 6th, at the gourmet store and design studio of Fancifull Gift Baskets, from 6-9 p.m. Located in the heart of Hollywood on Melrose Avenue, steps from Paramount Studios, the fundraiser promises to be a great opportunity to have a heart, give a little and be guaranteed to not walk away hungry. The suggested contribution is $ 10, with all proceeds benefiting Alternate Routes.

“Angelinos have always had a soft spot for art and children and we are excited to be part of such a worthy cause that is fun and tasty too,” noted August. “Where else in LA can you find a chocolate buffet, with an array of wines and artisan foods including gourmet cheeses for less than the price of one glass of wine at a restaurant – and know that you have been part of something bigger than yourself?” She added.

Long recognized as a beacon of community support and good will causes, Fancifull Gift Baskets is a fixture in the Melrose section of Los Angeles where it has established itself as the go-to-place for unique, personalized gifts and one-of-a kind gourmet gift baskets for every occasion.

Reservations are requested and may be made by calling 323-466-7654 or go to http://www.fancifullgiftbaskets.com.
