The Baking Queen

Chocolate chip cookies are one of Americas most popular snacks. There is nothing better than a fresh baked hot out of the oven chocolate chip cookie with a cold glass of milk. I am going to give you some tips to making this already fantastic cookie even better. I know most of you are thinking “Can it get any better?”. The answer is yes it can and I’m going to tell you how.

The first tip is to find the right chocolate. There are many types of chocolate to choose from and it may be a good idea to experiment with them. You can try making your chocolate chips cookies with large chips of chocolate, chocolate chunks, or M&Ms candy. Some people even like to cut up chocolate candy bars and put them in their cookies. Before you decide on the chocolate for your cookies you should taste each kind.

depending on the type and quality of chocolate it can all taste differently. White and dark chocolate, semisweet chocolate, and milk chocolate are just a few of the chocolate types available. Have the whole family pitch in for the taste testing. I’m sure you family will enjoy this errand.

A combination of different chocolate in your cookies will give it a different taste. You could taste test a combination of chocolates together and find one that taste good enough for your cookies. Having a family chocolate tasting session can be lots of fun and give you quality time with your family. Beware of the kids eating to much chocolate, they may get pretty hyper.

Experimenting with shortening, butter, and margarine will also give you a different flavor of cookie. Most people already have a preference for one or the other. If this is the case then no experimenting is necessary. Remember to keep your butter room temperature when cooking cookies. You will not get the same result with cold or melted butter.

If you are using butter be sure to use unsalted in the recipe. Chocolate chip cookies usually need granulated sugar. However you can use dark or light brown sugar to get a completely different taste. If you want a chewier cookie you could use corn syrup instead. Real vanilla extract and fresh eggs will make your cookies taste fresher.

Your cookies can be affected by the cookie sheet as well. Shiny cookie sheets will keep your cookies from browning to fast on the bottom or burning. Cookies burn very easily with thin metal sheets. Make sure you oven is preheated for almost twenty minutes before putting the cookies in. This helps them cook a lot 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.
