Chocolate Chip Cookies

Chocolate Chip Cookies

My Chocolate Chip cookies are famous in my community. Many of my friends won’t let me in the door for dinner without reaching for the bag of cookies first! I like thin crispy Chocolate Chip Cookies. You know the kind; the ones that make a lot of noise as you chew them. I have found that using two spoons to scrape the dough on to the cookie sheet produces thinner cookies than using a small scoop to drop the dough. If you prefer your cookies a little softer, use the scoop. Either way, I promise your family and guests will love them.

Hint: Let your batter rest 15-30 minutes after you prepare it. I don’t know what the science is; but the cookies come out crisper and more delicious when I take the time to do it. Trust me, they’re still terrific even if you don’t include the rest period.

Hint: If you’re using two racks in the same oven, reverse the cookie sheets half way through. If you’re using a Convection oven, you don’t have to reverse the racks.

Prep time: 45 minutes
