Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie?

[mpumr]

Here is another question to ponder, do you have a favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe?

I love Toll House!! Now my grandma uses a different recipe and it doesn't taste the same and doesn't crisp up as well as the Toll House recipe. I used to work with a lady that would use a recipe that would get her rave reviews. She had to refrigerate the dough overnight (who can wait that long?) and I also think she used oil instead of butter. Well she finally brought some to work, and let me tell you I was a little disappointed after all of the build-up. Yesterday, while I was at the grocery store, I checked out Mrs. Fields chocolate chip bag for her recipe (DH would constantly talk about those darn cookies being the best). Her recipe is a tad bit different than Toll House, one more teaspoon of vanilla, and I think less butter.

So what is your favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe?

I'm with you, Toll House all the way.

I use the tollhouse recipe, always with real butter and 1 tbs vanilla. yum :smile9:

[WTPoohLover]

When I bake cookies I also use the Tollhouse recipe. By default, I've alsways used Gold N Soft margarine instead of butter. (When I was growing up, that's the only kind of "butter" we usually had in the house.) HOWEVER my favorite chocolate chip cookie is the kind you can get at DoubleTree hotels. You get some at check-in, but you can also purchase them at the hotel or online. Simply to die for!

Nothing but Tollhouse for me and I also use real butter and a little extra vanilla.

Toll House is excellent and it's the recipe I usually use, but on occasion I'll also make the recipe from Martha Stewart's daughter, Alexis. It's on the Martha Stewart website and the cookies are fabulous...and loaded with butter. :)

[mlaureli]

I always use Tollhouse with real butter and extra vanilla. Yum, Yum! I'm gonna surf over to the Martha Stewart website and find that other recipe! :)

I really can't say that I don't like any of them! Toll house is one I bake the most, but as far as chocolate chip cookies, go, I love them all! :laugh:

[ladysusan]

Tollhouse :)

I've been using this recipe for about 30 years now! They come out big & fluffy. Used to make the kids the ice cream cookies and freeze them! The dough also freezes well! Makes a BIG batch. Hope you try them and enjoy!

Definitely Toll House, but I use the recipe with the jelly roll pan. You get it done in more quickly, just one thing in the oven. You can cut them very small or large like brownies.

now i'm suffering from an acute cookie deficiency! :laugh:

[beepbeep]

Guess I'am lazy, I like FAMOUS AMOS chocolate chip cookies. :sleep2:

When I was growing up, I was friends with two sisters (who were 1 and 2 years older than me) who lived across the street. Their mom always baked the VERY BEST Chocolate Chip Cookies! I have NEVER tasted as good a Choc Chip Cookie since! They were flavorful and crispy, never chewy or hard. I don't know if it was the oven they used or if it was that they used butter or Crisco or a certain kind of vanilla or flour, but they were hands down the best EVER! I never did find out the recipe, and lost contact with them when our family moved away a few years later. Now, everytime I make Toll House cookies, I wonder what I should be doing differently to recreate that cookie taste from 35 years ago!!!

[WLAllen219]

My all time fav is called Outrageous Choc.Chip cookie. It has 1 cup of oatmeal in it (in addition to flour). Sometimes i put the oatmeal in the food processor first. It also has 1 cup of peanut butter in it. Instead of semi-sweet chips i prefer milk chocolate chips.
These are to die for!

[rgdahl]

Toll house is the one I grew up and out on

I also like the Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookie which uses Crisco Sticks. The recipes are on the package.

Also on the back of Reese's Chips there are 2 recipes for cookies that are excellent. One is Cocoa based with the above chips and one is a white dough with PB and chocolate chips both are excellent and I highly recommend them to you.

Just one favorite? For Chocolate chip cookies?? hummm.....that's a tuffy! :laugh:

[coralraven]

I was sitting here eating my cookie and low and behold a "cookie thread". I'm lazy, sitting here eating a premade cookie. My favorite, Pepperidge Farms White Chocolate Chip and Macadamian Nut. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Bummer, I'm down to my last cookie.

[satnick]

Ok, I consider myself a chocolate chip cookie connesieur!!! Everyone who knows me understands my obsession. I too am a toll house gal but I'm always open to trying new recipes. BUT, I have to share my favorite place to BUY cookies....Heavenly Ham! They have GREAT fresh baked cookies as part of their "boxed lunch". Someone once bought me a dozen of them and I was in heaven.

So....other than home baked, which are your favorites that you can buy?? I will travel!

[ups91]

The Seelbach Hotel in Louisville has AWESOME chocolate chip cookies. They give you a few your first night staying there for turndown. But you can buy a bag in the giftshop. They have nuts, chocolate chips, cinnamon and a few other secret ingredients. I worked there one summer and employees got to eat the "mistake" cookies. They were really good!!!

[elainmir]

I can't eat them.......but only by choice......I'd do better just to go ahead and paste them to my butt thats where they'd go anyway!!! :laugh:

[racechickjb99]

:yum: Toll House :yum:

[Boosbear]

Toll House Cookies with real butter. Yummy - guess I am going to have to bake some now! :jump:

[peanutmylobutter]

Definitly tollhouse but with not so many chocolate chips, and using milk chocolate instead of semi sweet!

Mary :royal: :jump: :cheer7:

[Defenderofthefaith]

I like the big cookies Jewel bakery bakes! :smile9:

[icolena]

I'm also a Toll House, real butter, extra vanilla fan. No nuts. My mom has a recipe that she uses with a box of instant vanilla pudding. They are good, a bit fufflier and lighter than Toll House, but not as buttery tasting.

[Mary Beth]

I use the Tollhouse recipe, too. But there is another recipe that's also very good. It was supposed to be a recipe from Neiman-Marcus in Dallas that a woman had paid $250 for. This went around as an email about ten years ago. Anyway, the story was one of those urban legends, but the recipe that accompanied the story was a pretty good one. I'll have to search my disk for it. (I never clean up my disk - I just get more disk space.)

[sketcher]

My favorite is oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. I am an oatmeal fan only in the cookie form!

[Heather]

I've always used a receipe from a thick, old cookbook called "Joy of Cooking". At least the copy my parents had was pretty old. I made the recipe so many times that I think I could almost recall it without looking. Guess I've eaten a few cookies in my day. :)

[jafarhie]

Pillsbury Slice N Bake. All you do is get the chocolate chip with walnuts and slice them into thick chunks, and it's one of the best cookies in the US of A.

And you have to douse those buggers in a tall glass of milk. Ummmmmmmm pure heaven!!!!! :smile3:

[baam36]

My favorite is Mrs. Field's you buy at the mall.(not the grocery store kind-yuk) I try not to go there cause they are addictive. Recently had the "big" cookie for my dd's birthday instead of a cake and they write on it with incredible frosting! Something different! YUM!

[JoyfulNois]

We make Tollhouse - except that we use 1/2 butter (real butter) and 1/2 Crisco. That gives it the buttery flavor but stiffens the cookie just a bit more. Yum! *getting hungry* :yum:

Also, Heather - if you still have that old copy of "Joy of Cooking", hold on to it - they are very valuable now! :smile9:

[Bigfootsmother]

a couple times a year I stay at the Double Tree Hotel across the street from SeaTac airport

when you check in they give you a chocolate chip cookie, yummy!

[caseycupcake]

Tollhouse.

But I bake them at a lower temperature: 275 Yep. It takes a lot longer (19-21 min) but the cookies are soft! Taste just like Mrs. Fields!

[satnick]

Geez, I have to try that toll house pie! There is a local restuarant that sells almost the exact same thing. It is a family favorite.

[dmllite]

The Betty Crocker chocolate chip cookie mix is very tasty...seemed to be a hit with a bunch of my peeps! :wink4:

[jcns]

This stinks - now I need to go make cookies....and I just made peanut butter ones last night.....however, I do prefer Toll House when I'm making standard chocolate chip cookies.
