Wanted: the BEST chocolate chip cookie recipe?

Question

I am looking for a really good one! Please and thank you :)

Answer 1

The best one I've found is on the back of the Tollhouse Chip bag.

Answer 2

These are delicious.

1 stick butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup flour
1 1/4 cups oats, blended to a powder
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
6 oz chocolate chips
2 oz milk chocolate, grated
optional: 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

1. Preheat the oven to 375 F.
2. Blend the oats to a powder in a food processor or blender. Combine the oat-flour with the regular flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a bowl, set aside.
3. Cream the butter with the sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and the vanilla. Stir in the dry ingredients until just combined. Fold in the chocolates and nuts, if desired.
4. Place golf ball sized cookies two inches apart on a greased or lined baking sheet. Bake the cookies 6-10 minutes, until just golden.

Answer 3

Yep, just stick with the Tollhouse recipe. That's the original chocolate chip cookie recipe. Sometimes for a change, I use milk chocolate chips with pecans in it instead of the semi-sweet chips.

Answer 4

I agree with below about the nestles recipe... however, I use butter and only butter... if you like a soft cookie... use more white sugar than what is called for... what i mean is if it says 1/2 cup white and 1/2 cup brown sugar.. make the white 3/4 c and the brown only a 1/4 cup.... I also freeze them after baking.. and only take out a little while before I want to eat them.

Answer 6

I use the recipe for oatmeal cookies on the top of the Quaker Oats canisters, with unsalted butter instead of margarine, whole-wheat pastry flour instead of white, Guittard semi-sweet chips, and a bit of cinnamon. Sometimes I'll also throw in some unsweetened flaked coconut, dried cherries or cranberries, and/or chopped pecans.
