Live4christp1 how is your baking soda? Is it fresh? Plus I usually add about 2 TBSP of extra flour. (seems to keep them fluffy?)

Chocolate Chip cookies - the recipe from the back of the Nestle Toll House Semi - Sweet chips bag. However, mine never turn out right and I have yet to figure out what I'm not doing (or doing wrong) that's different from what my mom did - she made the best chocolate chip cookies with this recipe. So good right out of the oven with a big glass of milk. Mine always turn into sad little burnt flat thin as paper things.

The only cookies I have been successful with are the refrigerated cookie dough. Though I can do the no-bake oatmeal, chocolate, peanut butter cookies (hob knobs, cowpies).

Here's the recipe

Pignolia (Pine Nut) Cookies! They cost a bit to make because the almond paste is expensive, but they are soooo good!

I was in the cookie mood and found this recipe online for the Main Street chocolate chip cookies. Made them and was in pure bliss and didn't want to share them.

Gourmet Double Chocolate Chunk Cookies

from Main Street Bakery, Magic Kingdom

1 cup Butter
1 tablespoon Brown sugar
1 cup Sugar
2 large Eggs
¼ teaspoon Vanilla
¼ cup Cocoa powder
1 ½ cups Flour
¼ teaspoon Baking soda
¼ teaspoon Salt
18 oz Semisweet chocolate chunks

Preheat oven 375 F. Cream butter, sugars, vanilla, and cocoa powder. Stir in remaining ingredients and blend well. Refrigerate 30 mins. Drop dough by rounded teaspoons onto ungreased cookie sheet about 2" apart. Bake until cookies are set, 5-8 mins. Cool slightly and remove from pan. When making large cookies, press down slightly on cookie dough to help cook more evenly. Bake slightly longer, 8-10 min

CHEWY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

INGREDIENTS
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 egg
1 egg yolk
2 cups good quality semisweet chocolate chips

DIRECTIONS
1.Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets or line with parchment paper.
2.Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt; set aside.
3.In a medium bowl, cream together the melted butter, brown sugar and white sugar until well blended. Beat in the vanilla, egg, and egg yolk until light and creamy. Mix in the sifted ingredients until just blended. Stir in the chocolate chips by hand using a wooden spoon. Drop cookie dough 1/4 cup at a time onto the prepared cookie sheets. Cookies should be about 3 inches apart.
4.Bake for 15 to 17 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the edges are lightly toasted. Cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

I use Ghirardelli chocolate chips and chill the dough before baking so they don't flatten out. I think the recipe is from allrecipes or recipezaar.

Way back when I was in high school, according to my older brother and his friends I make the best Toll House Cookies

My secret to fluffy cookies - replace 1/2 the butter with Crisco.

 

[sbell111]

I have three 'favorites':

• My wife's awesome sugar cookies
• Tollhouse chocolate chip cookies (made with dark brown sugar, real butter, extra chocolate chunks, and walnuts.
• Mexican wedding cookies (in little balls, not 'moons', no chocolate, still warm

That's what my mom told me to do as well and I did and still ended up with a mess........I'm just not a cookie maker I guess......this sure has made me miss my mom even more though.

 

[princess momma]

Oh yeah, I always use dark brown sugar. It has a much deeper flavor. Yummy.

Make sure that both your cookie dough and teh cookie pan are cool when you pop them into the oven. Otherwise, the cookie will melt flat before it has a chance to cook.

That must be it.....maybe it's to warm in my kitchen as my dough never looks like my mom's dough would look. Mine is always kind of .....melty now that I think about it. I've tried adding more flour to thicken it up but that just makes them taste yuck!

It could be your butter is too soft. I don't soften mine in the microwave. If it's melty at all that could be your problem.

I've also thought maybe I'm using the wrong butter. What do you all recommend. Do you use real butter, margarine, etc.

I only use real butter in my baking (store brand seems to do fine for me). Just let it set out on the counter until it is soft to the touch.
