Everybody wants to achieve perfection when baking chocolate chip cookies. It is the quintessential cookie. The cravings evoked at the mere mention of its name are powerful. Therefore, it is always so disappointing when they come out of the oven far less than perfect.
There are so many factors that come into play that affect the end baking result it is hard to know what went wrong. Ingredients, mixing process, and even the length of time the cookies were baked could thwart your best efforts and ruin your anticipated Utopian cookie. However, there is one simple little tip that could so drastically alter the results of your chocolate chip cookie, you will slap your forehead that you did not try it before. That is to chill your dough before baking the cookies. So simple and yet so important is this one overlooked step. We are always in such a rush to get to hot, gooey confectionery bliss that taking the time would be torture. But, a few hours in the fridge will promise that blissful moment to be even greater than imagined.
Chilling chocolate chip cookie dough does a couple of things. First, it marinates the flavors that go into a cookie dough. Have you ever noticed that lasagna tastes better the second day? Well, the same principle applies here but we are talking about cookie dough. The flavors will really pop and deliver a richer experience after sitting in the fridge for a bit. According to a New York Times article titled Perfection? Hint: It's Warm and Has a Secret (July 9, 2008), there are some interesting and yet dramatic physical effects on the cookie the longer it is chilled. They found that a thirty-six hour period in the refrigerator produced cookies with deeper shades of golden brown without longer time in the oven.
Second, the flour will really drink up all the moist ingredients that went into the dough after a prolonged time in the chill box. The longer the dough sits, the drier the dough gets, and that is actually a good thing. The chocolate chip cookie will have a better consistency right out of the oven. This is because of the hydration effect of sitting in the refrigerator and also because cold dough will spread less in a hot oven making a thicker cookie. And, don't worry about dry dough. The baked cookie will actually be moist and delicious.
There is one more factor to take into consideration when chilling the dough. Because the dough gets so dry during this time, it is best to form your cookies before you chill the dough. Try to scoop the dough after it has been thoroughly chilled and you will have a crumbly frustrating mess on your hands. Scooping them and chilling them on a cookie sheet is good. If you are going for the big chill and waiting the optimal thirty-six hours, an airtight container is best. You don't want those cookies to taste like last week's meat loaf.
Apparently Ruth Wakefield, inventor of the chocolate chip cookie, knew about this handy little tip from the very beginning. The New York Times also reveals that it was a regular practice of the Toll House Inn to chill their cookie dough. Somehow this piece of information failed to meet the final edit when the recipe went on the backs of Nestle's Chocolate in the 1930's. We should not feel too betrayed. Most great cooks are happy to share recipes, but rarely share all the tricks of the trade that make the end product great.

Chocolate chip cookies have been around for the longest time. Everyone also has the same claim that their grandmother or mothers make the best cookies around. However, with the following variations, you can claim and hold the title to best cookie maker among family and friends.
Using favorite candy and candy bars in the mix
Instead of only using chocolate chips, crumble your favorites candy bars into the mix. Anything from Nestle's Crunch, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, to 3 Musketeers would all work. They enable people to enjoy their favorite candy's as well as cookies at the same time. The heat from baking the candy with the cookie dough softens the candy to a point where the taste is infused together with the dough.
Bacon chocolate chip cookies!
Who would've thought that bacon would be another alternative. The trick here is preparing the ingredient correctly before hand. Use thick strips of bacon and bake it in the oven with brown sugar. After the bacon is done baking, cut it up into fine bits. Sprinkle and mix into cookie dough and bake! These cookies will definitely be a surprise treat to anyone that is not expecting them.
Peanut Butter chocolate chip cookies
To prepare these, when you're making the cookie dough mix, cream the butter, peanut butter, and sugars until light. Add eggs and mix until the batch is fluffy. Then proceed with the rest of the process based on preference. Take my word for it that these cookies are REALLY good.
If you want to turn these into a great fundraiser, just have them out on a plate and take them to popular locations. Offer milk on the side and they will sell like hotcakes!
The chocolate chip cookie is almost mainly eaten where it hailed from in the U.S. , although it is most indeed popular around the globe, and contains chocolate chips in every bite of the cookie, of which there may be many different kinds and shapes. The chocolate chip cookie is also recognized as the Toll House cookie, and came into being accidentally when baked by a woman named Ruth Graves Wakefield who owned a hotel called the Toll House Inn.
When she was baking some chocolate cookies, Ms. Wakefield ran out of baker's chocolate, and was forced to replace it with semi sweet chocolate that she thought would melt in the batter. Since that didn't happen, the first chocolate chip cookies came into being and because they were so delicious she was also able to trade this recipe to the Nestle Chocolate Company, and in return she would get a lifetime supply of all the chocolate chips she ever needed.
According to recent surveys more than seven billion chocolate chip cookies are eaten annually, and as many 50% of all American households make them to eat at home. The main ingredients that go into a chocolate chip cookie are brown and white sugars, flour, eggs, and semi-sweet chocolate. Some people also choose to add nuts to the batter. Anyone can mix and match the ingredients to what they desire them to be, though the Toll House Cookie recipe is the one that most aspire to equal.
To bake the chocolate chip cookie, the baker would have to cream the sugar and butter at a very high velocity usually done with a whisk or electric mixer, then the brown sugar and eggs, and then add some flour and baking powder. Chocolate chips can be added to the mix at the end of the whole process before scooping the cookie dough and placing it on a baking sheet to bake the cookies, although many people like to eat it by itself, something I seem to enjoy as well.
This sort of cookie is a big thing in the United States, and there is much talk of it in the press. It is also mentioned in TV shows such as Sesame Street, who can forget the Cookie Monster? Midwest Airlines bakes and serves fresh chocolate chip cookies on board their flights. Also a fact not widely known to many is that the desert camouflage pattern that U.S. military wore during the first Gulf War was nicknamed "chocolate chip," since it greatly resembled chocolate chip cookie dough having brown, black and light tan specks all within the pattern of the uniform.
Ever since I read the book The Portion Teller a few years back, I have been intrigued by portion sizes. Gradually, over the years, the size of our meals (and even our plates) has increased and as a result, so has our waistlines.
I am convinced that the #1 reason for the obesity epidemic in America is due to our portion sizes. If you've ever been to another country you've noticed two things; the people are smaller and the meals are smaller. The relationship between the two is not a coincidence.
Human nature is that we will eat most, if not all, that is in front of us. Can you remember the last time you took a few bites of a cookie and threw the rest away? How about a piece of pizza, a hot dog, or an ice cream cone? Not likely.
We are now so accustomed to the larger portion sizes that we're served and we don't think twice about finishing every last bite. I think if we were made more aware of just how big our portions are we might think about pouring a little less cereal, not going for the second or third slice of pizza, or splitting dessert with a friend.
Here are some portion shockers from Lisa Young's book The Portion Teller:
Sizzler offers a 24-ounce porterhouse steak. This is equal to three days' worth of meat according to USDA recommendations. A typical muffin weighs in at over 6 ounces and contains more than an entire day's worth of grains.Between 1984 and 1987 the exact same chocolate chip cookie recipe on the back of the Nestle TOLL HOUSE package scaled down the number of cookies it makes from 100 to 60.In 1964 Burger King offered a 12-ounce small and a 16-ounce large soft drink. Today's drinks come in five sizes: 12-ounce kiddie, 16-ounce small, 22-ounce medium, 32-ounce large and 42-ounce king.The first Hershey Milk Chocolate bar weighed .6 ounces. Today they range from 1.6 ounces to 8 ounces.
This is just the beginning of our super sized culture, and my hope is that with this knowledge comes power. Start thinking about what a serving should actually look like and make a goal to cut back on the amount of food you eat throughout the day.

Don't you love it when your kids are getting ready for bed and you hear, "By the way Mom - our class party is tomorrow, and I signed up for three dozen chocolate chip cookies!"
Cookies are America's most popular dessert, and for all those late night, emergency cookie baking sessions, or almost any cookie occasion, about half the cookies baked are chocolate chip.
Did you ever wonder what chocolate chip cookies and President John F. Kennedy have in common? Perhaps not, but here are some historical chocolate chip cookie tidbits.
There are an estimated 2,000 varieties of this popular cookie, from chocolate chip banana to white chocolate chip raspberry, but the most popular is the Toll House cookie recipe seen on the back of every Nestlé chocolate chip package.
In 1930, Ruth Wakefield and her husband, Kenneth, established the Toll House Inn, near Boston, Massachusetts. Their tourist lodge was housed in a building (circa 1709) where, at one time, travelers paid their tolls, changed horses and enjoyed home-cooked meals.
The Toll House Inn was well-known for Ruth's cooking, especially her desserts. She often sent travelers on their way with a plate of her delicious cookies. One otherwise uneventful day in 1937, Ruth added small chunks of a Nestlé's Semisweet Yellow Label Chocolate bar to her butter cookie dough.
Results? Instant success!
The story goes that Ruth received a lifetime supply of chocolate in exchange for her recipe, which Nestle' printed on the back of their semisweet chocolate bar packages. The cookie recipe was so popular that Nestlé began marketing chocolate chips to be used especially for cookies.
Over the years, the popular Toll House Inn included many well-known guests, including - guess who? - President John F. Kennedy.
Almost a century after Ruth dropped that first piece of chocolate into her cookies, every bag of Nestle chocolate chips in North America continues to have Wakefield's original, Toll House recipe printed on the back.
Just like Ruth's recipe, all basic chocolate chip recipes call for flour, sugar, butter or margarine, baking powder and/or baking soda, eggs, vanilla, and chocolate chips. The taste and texture varies with recipe. Some chocolate chip cookies bake puffy and others flat. The easiest to decorate are flat.
Decorate chocolate chip cookies? Yes, these are especially unique for Jenny and Jeff's school parties - that is, if you aren't too tired after your all night baking session! Chocolate chip cookies are tasty enough without icing, but a little decoration will make you the most popular mom in the class!
Decorated Chocolate Chip Pan Cookie
Instead of the more time-consuming individual cookies, the chocolate chip pan cookie can be a life-saver when you've awakened at midnight, realizing you forgot to bake those cookies for tomorrow's first grade celebration of "National Play Doh Day."
After you bake the cookie, pipe on a balloon (royal icing border filled in with gel icings) and message like "Happy Imagining!"
Chocolate Chip Cookie Bouquets
While chocolate chip cookies don't lend themselves to the fancier, polished cookie bouquets, they can be very cute and cheerful - exactly the thing for 85-year-old Aunt Myrna, who married her yoga instructor, or Cousin Jim who just graduated from bungee-jumping class - with flying colors!
Here's one idea:
Cookies and Milk Bouquet
1 batch of Toll House chocolate chip cookie dough
Lollipop sticks (rolled paper, not plastic) of varying heights
Royal icing
Preheat oven to 375° F. Roll cookie dough into 2-inch balls. Arrange four balls on an ungreased cookie sheet. Insert a lollipop stick into each ball. Press dough down slightly.
Bake for 13 to 15 minutes or until the edges of the cookies are crisp. Cool on baking sheet for 1 minute; remove to wire racks to cool completely.
Once cooled (about 20 minutes), decorate your cookies with a decorating bag and royal icing. Use icing sparingly so as not to detract from the wholesome cookie taste. For the "cookies and milk" theme, you might want to add white icing milk moustaches.
After the icing hardens, wrap each cookie in cellophane and tie with a ribbon. Arrange in a mug (for the milk!) that matches your theme.
If you're interested in creating the beautiful cookie bouquets made from sugar cookies you see selling for to , you can learn how from classes, books and videos, such as the "Cookie Decorating Made Easy" Video Books that this reader used:
"Hi Michael! I bought your cookie video books on Friday and made cookies with my kids on Saturday. It was the funnest time and the cookies turned out beautifully."

One last tip. If you want to be the mom with the most original cookies, bake your chocolate chip cookies in various shapes. Just fit a large decorating tip to a pastry bag, fill with your dough, and pipe out drop flowers or other shapes onto your cookie sheet.
