Success: Chocolate Chip Cookies [omg]

Sunday, June 12, 2022

The recipe is 'The Best Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe Ever' from Joy Food Sunshine. And while I may not be willing to say it's the best chocolate chip cookie recipe ever, I do really like it and find it better than the Tolhouse on-the-bag recipe. A half cup more sugar, 0.75 cup more flour, a bit of baking powder to go with the baking soda, and twice the vanilla extract!

When cooked in the toaster oven from frozen, it makes a very delightfully, chewy-interior cookie with a good amount of chocolate.

As always, a full batch of cookies makes a lot. So I flash freeze the [several] spare dozen on a sheet pan, and then transfer to a zip-loc freezer bag so that I can whip up some homemade cookies in no time.
