I'm going to make a batch of chocolate chip cookies tomorrow, and I was wondering if anybody had any favorite recipes they'd be interested in sharing. As long as they're tasty, I'm open to pretty much anything. No food allergies, and I'm not vegan or anything, so any ingredients you'd care to include are fair game.

Oh, hey, if you're not a vegan, then I have a great cookie recipe that involves Italian sausage!
Seriously, I enjoy chocolate chip cookies too, but I usually follow the recipe on the back of the chocolate chips bag. I haven't seen a whole lot of variation in recipes. Flour, eggs, sugar, vanilla, chocolate chips. Walnuts are always tasty, I guess. Posts: 5957 | Registered: Oct 2001

Could you post it... I've been looking for something like that for my sister-in-law. She just started the Atkins diet Posts: 862 | Registered: Oct 2003

The trick I've learned with chocolate chip cookies is to add extra flour (about an extra cup worth - so the dough isn't sticky) and a ton of extra vanilla (like a tablespoon or 2 total).

My favorite trick: add a couple of pinches of cinnamon to make chocolate chip cookies extra rich and special.

Add either a baby-food sized jar of applesauce or a half cup of leftover mashed potatoes to the standard tollhouse cookie recipe. Makes them yummy-soft.

What I do make is a delicious apple pie, and I'm getting better and better at that. The secret is lots of butter, lots of cinnamon/sugar mixture, and generous lemon juice. Mmmmmmm.
If someone could actually make chocolate chip cookies taste good with Italian sausage in them, that would be like George Costanza's perfect combination: food, TV, and you-know-what. I was totally being tongue-in-cheek about that, but now I wonder if it could actually work.

When making them, however you decide, melt the butter instead of softening it. And use more brown sugar than white. Um... yeah, that's about all the cookie advice I have. I'd share my secret-cookie recipe (which debuted as a purely chocolate chip one), but then it wouldn't be a secret anymore Posts: 3932 | Registered: Sep 1999

I have never in my life had a chocolate chip cookie better than one made with the recipe on the Nestle's bag, the classic Tollhouse cookie recipe. Without nuts.
