Happy National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day!
A chocolate chip cookie is probably the number 1, favorite cookie of everyone in our family. Not only are they delicious eaten as a single cookie, but they can be used to create other recipes.
My little grandsons seem to enjoy sneaking a bite of the dough when we are baking cookies.
When I make chocolate chip cookies, I use the basic recipe on the Nestle Toll House package. I prefer the milk chocolate chips.
This recipe is easy and you can be creative by adding a variety of
flavored chips, nuts, coconut, or extracts.
Zesty Orange Chocolate Chip Cookies are created by using the Toll House recipe and adding 1 teaspoon juice from orange, and zest of 1 orange.
Raspberry Chocolate Chip Cookies are made by using the Toll House recipe, adding 1 cup of chocolate chips, 1 cup raspberry chips, and 1/2 cup chopped pecans.
Peanut Butter Toffee Chocolate Chip Cookies. I created this recipe
during the holidays last year, and it was a big hit.
Peanut butter, chocolate chips and toffee bits are amazing together.
HERE is the link for this recipe.
When I bake chocolate chip cookies, I put a few in the freezer and use them in parfaits at a later date.
Several times I have set up a parfait bar for my grandchildren.
Here is one of the parfaits created with chocolate chip cookies as the crust.
In 2014, I was a finalist at the Pillsbury Bake-off Contest. My recipe used a roll of Pillsbury Refrigerated Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough for the crust. Link to recipe.
Have a wonderful day, creating a chocolate chip cookie recipe, or just enjoying a cookie.
YUM! I want to eat them all and I have a cup of decaf on my desk right now that would love to have a cookie dipped into it (for breakfast!). I love chocolate chip cookie dough baked in a sheet pan – for some reason it just tastes better that way!
Thank you. You are right about the cookie tasting better baked in a sheet pan. It seems like kids always want those for parties. I like how soft they are in the middle.
