Chocolate Chip Cookies
It’s December and that time of year again. I am excited about Christmas holiday baking season and all the cookies for the festivities.
Chocolate chip cookies are on top of my list and these salted chocolate chop cookies easily top my favorite cookies ever!
The recipe is from Tiffani Thiesen’s new cookbook; it was published on People magazine. The salt brings out the sweetness of the chocolate and adds amazing nuance and flavors to the cookies.
The cookies are also crispy and crunchy, every bite is delightful with the rich taste of the chocolate lingers in the mouth. I just can’t stop eating these cookies.
How to Avoid Chocolate Chips from Sinking into Cookies?
One of the common problems of baking chocolate chip cookies is that the chocolate chips will sink into the bottom of the cookies as they bake.
To avoid this problem, press a few chocolate chips on the tops of the dough balls. This will ensure that the chocolate chips don’t sink and the end results will look extra chunky, beautiful and chocolatey.
How Do You Make Crispy Chocolate Chip Cookies?
While many people like their cookies soft and chewy, I like mine crispy and crunchy, just like Mrs. Field’s Cookies at the mall.
The secret ingredient in chocolate chip cookies is whole-wheat flour. Also, chilling the dough in the refrigerator overnight or quickly freeze for 15-20 minutes before baking.
This is the BEST chocolate chip cookies I have made, really. I had so many of these cookies. The sea salt really elevates the taste to a new level. Try this salted chocolate chip cookie recipe this holiday season. Happy baking!
