TWD: Dorie's Best Chocolate Chip Cookies

Photobucket

I love chocolate chip cookies. They are probably my all time favorite. I love them even more than snickerdoodles and peanut butter cookies. The best part is the raw dough. I managed to keep myself from licking the bowl this time. The sacrifices I make for this little baby boy.

I was lazy and used semi-sweet chocolate chips for these cookies. I didn't have the energy to chop my own chocolate. I did add chopped pecans and was pleasantly surprised with how yummy the cookies were with nuts.

I really enjoyed (and I'm still enjoying) these cookies. I'm kind of a cookie snob. I won't eat store bought cookies but if the cookie is homemade it will probably end up in my mouth. This will probably become my go-to chocolate cookie recipe. I have no complaints only praise.

Thanks to all for the kind wishes regarding our newest family member. Our little boy's expected due date is July 4th. We are beyond excited.

  9. I love that you're such a big fan of them! Isn't it fun to find a go-to recipe :) These weren't a favorite for me, too thin and crispy but there are plenty of other recipes to try. Love that first photo!

  10. I love cookie snobs! So am I!

    And congrats on the baby!

    I didn't care too much for this CCC recipe because it turned out too thin and crispy. I'm all about thick and chewy!

  12. Mmm, I agree with you--chocolate chip cookies are the best! If you ever need someone to come over and lick the bowl, give me a ring! I'm a dough-eating master.

  13. I think those are probably the most perfect looking cc cookies I have seen. You have the knack. July 4th is a fine day for a birthday, or anywhere close to there as you get fireworks every single year! How special is that??

  14. KIM!!! I'm so excited for you and Pete! Congratulations. :o) I am, once again, behind on reading and commenting and just read your brownie post. What a fantastic and sweet little belly you have!! I wish you guys the best of luck! I was just laying in bed this morning, cuddling with my boys, remembering when they were super tiny and new. It goes to fast.

    Anyway, beautiful cookies and lovely pictures, too. Keep smiling and feel good!

  21. OOOOH you know what my favourite photo was in the entire post? The one of the raw batter, happily encasing ALL those chunky bits of chocolate. I swear I died and went to cookie dough heaven.
