Best Chocolate Chip Cookies?
March 21, 2020
I got a recommendation for this chocolate chip cookie recipe titled how to make perfect chocolate chip cookies. I made them today and while they were not perfect, they were still pretty good.
I followed the recipe with the exception of the espresso powder (which I don’t have on hand) and the resting phase of the dough.
What I liked:
- The browned butter adds a complex flavour to it and browning butter is always fun (and smells great).
- ⅔ brown sugar and ⅓ white sugar is nice.
- They are actually really tasty and I ate two.
What I didn’t like:
- They came out rather thin; this might be because I didn’t actually refrigerate the dough but I baked only half and the other half is in the freezer. My gut feeling is that the cold ones will spread less than the warm ones.
- It was a little too salty. The recipe calls for 2 Tsp of kosher salt which is actually quite a lot. If I make this again, I’ll definitely use less salt.
- They seemed greasy, more so than the cookies I usually make.
