Chocolate Chip Cookie

I've been on a quest to perfect my chocolate chip cookies. I don't know why other than the fact that it bugs me when I spend time and money on ingredients and they don't turn out. Plus, I have two cookie monsters!!!

So here are my three little secrets..................

 

1) I bake all my cookies on Silpat mats. They are a bit pricey, but totally worth it! The pros use them and you can get them at Bed Bath and Beyond for $25.

2) I use Crisco (butter flavored) baking sticks. Forget waiting for butter to soften. These babies are soft and ready to go. Plus, I believe it makes the texture of the cookie better.

3) I use dark brown sugar instead of light.

I always follow Nestlé's recipe, so I can't take credit, but these tweaks truly make the PERFECT cookie. They are slightly crispy around the edge and ooey, gooey in the middle!

 

 

 

Now go bake some cookies!
