A favorite snack among Americans is the chocolate chip cookies. Mot people agree that a hot fresh baked chocolate chip cookie along side an ice cold cup of milk is amazing. I have a few tips for making an already fabulous recipe even better. You may be wondering how these cookies could get any better. Trust me, they can and I am going to give you the tips to do it.
The first thing you have to do is find the perfect chocolate. You will have many types to choose from so you may want to experiment with a few first. Chocolate chip cookies can have large or small chips of chocolate, chunks of chocolate, or chocolate candy like M&Ms. You could even break up a candy bar to put in your cookies. Tasting the chocolate before hand could be a wise decision.
Chocolate can taste very different when you buy a different quality and types. You can try milk chocolate, semisweet chocolate, white chocolate, and dark chocolate. You could even have the family all pitch in and decide what every one likes the best. I don't know about your family but mine will definitely not mind sampling chocolate for me.
You could also choose to do a combination of chocolate in your cookies. You should try tasting different pieces of chocolate together and see if you find some that taste good together. Sampling chocolate can be a lot of fun and you and your family will have some quality time together. After tasting all the chocolate you may have some hyper children to tend with though.
You should also experiment with margarine, butter, and shortening. All of these will give your cookie a different flavor. People usually have a preference for which they like best. If you already know which you prefer to use then you can skip the experiment. You also want to remember to cook with room temperature butter. Melted or cold butter does not give the same results as room temperature.
Butter also should be unsalted if this is what you choose to use in your batter. Also you have to find a sugar. Most recipes will call for you to use granulated sugar but you could try dark or either light brown sugar. This gives the cookie a completely new taste. For chewier cookies you can try corn syrup. For a fresh tasting cookie use real vanilla extract and also fresh eggs.
The cookie sheet you use can also change the way your cookies cook. A shiny cookie sheet will prevent your cookies from burning or getting brown too quick on the bottom. Thin metal cookie sheets can also make your cookies burn. You also need to preheat your oven for about twenty minutes before you will need it. This will ensure that your oven is an even temperature so your cookies will cook more evenly.
Make sure everything is completely mixed together before you add in the chocolate. Adding chocolate too early can cause the chips or chunks to melt into the batter. Make sure you stir by hand when mixing in the chocolate. An electric mixer can also cause the chocolate to melt and blend into the batter thereby turning the chocolate chip cookies into chocolate cookies. I hope these tips help and I'm sure you will find many more ways to improve your recipe. Go make cookies and enjoy them.
