I have been baking cookies since I came out of my mother's womb. Before Claire's cookbook I used the chocolate chip cookie on the Hershey Chip bag. I have read and reread this cookie. I never knew the science of baking. My first teachers, my mom and grandma, would say, "Just do as I say and or you'll mess up".
Thank you Carla and Kelly at the Radio Bakery. I don't live in NYC, but I will bake this CCC.
this is awesome! i also grew up making the hershey chip bag cookie. The "why" of the steps is so critical, especially when being asked to do something out of the ordinary (I would have skimped on the creaming time if I didn't have a reason not to!!!).
These are delicious! I stayed disciplined and followed the recipe and directions exactly as shown, with a slight sub on the chocolate. I formed them into balls after a day in the fridge and froze them. They baked in 17 minutes from frozen with the convection going. When the time was up they looked undercooked in the middle and too brown on the edges but somehow in the short rest on the pan after they transformed into a great looking cookie! I did a bit of shaping with my biscuit ring but probably didn’t need to.
I think there was some talk about the chocolate- I used the two chips from Trader Joe’s- standard semi-sweet and the 70%-ers. My family and I were pretty satisfied with them!
