“Chocolate Chip Cookie Lovers”


 My dear readers,
To all of you who like chocolate chip cookies. 
I was encouraged to put a little food on my site. so here goes.  I just made a double batch of chocolate chip cookies for my husband.  It was so good, (actually, the best I've ever had.) I thought I would share it with you. I used Hershey's Special Dark, real mildly sweet chocolate instead of the Hershey chunks.  I used the recipe on the back of the package.  I  used for the first time, unsalted sweet cream Butter, (which the body digests easier than the imitation ones.)  The butter made them very creamy, it was perfect. The cookie melted in my mouth.   Now, I like my cookies pretty flat and chewy.  And that's just how they turned out.   I try not to stir more then necessary because the more you stir, the more air gets in the mix, the fatter the cookies.   Also, I try to use a little less flour for the same reason.   In the past, I would have trouble with the bottoms of the cookies burning, so, I now use a smaller baking sheet inside a bigger one, so I have a double layer of protection.   I let the cookies cook for 12 minutes instead of the 8 to 10 minutes the package calls for. The cookies come out golden brown,   Perfect.    So, for all you chocolate lovers enjoy!

  1. These cookies look good enough to eat virtually! I mean they look so real and yummy and I'd like to have one, lol. It is a great idea you had to put the double baking sheets together. I will have to try that sometime as my oven cooks very fast from the bottom. I like your other tips for a better cookie too.

  4. Hi, I found you through Penny's blog (Joyful). Your cookies look delicious, and thanks for the hint about using 2 cookie sheets. I never would have thought of that, but you can be sure I will try your idea. You and Penny and I share a passion for Africa's dear people, and I am also into mixed media crafts. I'm glad Penny "introduced" us to you.
