I’ll take 2 right now with a glass of milk…wait…it’s 5:45 am. Is that too early for chocolate chip cookies?!

mmm! The only thing I’ve been doing (other than messing with the type of chocolate, and nuts or oats etc.) is adding cornstarch. It practically guarantees, a soft cookie centre. Fabulous pictures!!

I’m so saving this post and picking up some chocolate chips on my next trip to the store! Plain old chocolate chip cookies… my favorite! I’m jealous that you’re already having turkey dinners, I love that part of the holidays. :)

I like the little limie too!! Although I just changed it for now to something a little more for fall.

These look so good!! I’m Cdn, but live here in the US, so we don’t celebrate our Thanksgiving till November. I’ll try these cookies with my kids this weekend, they look delicious!

I like snickerdoodles!!! I have never been able to make chocolate chip cookies! They always come out bad. Maybe I will try these and see if I get better results!

Those look so good I can practically taste them! My only issue with baking cookies is that I tend to eat most of the batter before I bake it! :)

PinkPeppercorn - How much cornstarch would you add - very interesting.

Cheryl- thanks I was debating about adding walnuts but this time i left them out

Jo - hmm not sure I have ever had those - are they a US brand?

Thanks Amy, Erica

Tabitha/Joanna - you will have to let me know how your cookies go and your turkey day!

Alr1187 - I have yet to try snickerdoodles!! I better get on that

Krista - HAHA - yeah i tend to do that as well… the yield gets alot smaller all of a sudden:)

Wow! I’m so glad I returned the blog visit. You have a great site here, Corey! And I’m glad that the post I landed on today had chocolate chip cookies because those are my favorites. Well, actually I also like to add walnuts and oatmeal to them and then they are the perfect cookie. :) Your photographs are wonderful, are you an aspiring photographer as well as a great cook? Thanks for stopping in to my blog. I will be back to visit yours as well! :)

Nicole - Thanks so much!

Teeni - Thanks! If you only knew how long it took me to getthe photos - I am still working on it and usually I have to call in my wife to take the best picture!

Michwendt - haha as you were saying that I was just eating one - i think you should just make them and let me know how you got along!

I have never seen chocolate chip cookies made with only brown sugar, mostly its 2/3 granulated 1/3 brown
Also whats the purpose of the hot water I have never used water in any of my cookies?

my favorit cookies are chocolate chips because you can do so many things with them, like making them with M&M’s or Recces Pieces, or chunks of chocolate instead of chips. When they are still warm take 2 and put a scoop of ice cream between them to make an awesome ice cream sandwich. Or bake the dough with out chocolate then let it cool and dip half of it in chocolate to make what i call “dippers” they are great for dunking in your hote coffee or tea or even cold milk

or you can even do the no chocolate dough press ice cream between to cooked cookies then dip it in chocolate and freeze it for a chocolate diped cookie sandwich

the cooked dought itself crumbled over pie’s or used as no bake pie crust is good too

My nephews love it when I make Earthquake pie, which is smashed chocolate chip cookie with chocolate pie filling on top then more smashed cookies, and some times screaded coconut thats colored green for summor or leave it white for winter ones

i could so use one of those right now! my favorite cookie is definitely chocolate chip! i don’t eat too many cookies, but when i do, it’s ALWAYS chocolate chip. I have a great vegan recipe that is usually my stand-by.

What’s your feeling on resting & chilling the dough before portioning it out on the cookie sheet?

My favorite favorite cookie would have to be chocolate chocolate chip cookies.

But if I’m being healthy I like oatmeal-applesauce cookies with lots of cinnamon.

I love the cookie stack!! You can’t beat a good chocolate chip cookie. Hope you had a great holiday!

Droooooool.
Classic homemade chocolate chip cookies rule above all others. I used to make them alll the time. And they looked almost exactly like yours do. I don’t think the recipe is the exact same but probably pretty close.
I haven’t made them in much too long now. Imma cravin’ some good ol cookies.

Chocolate Chip Cookies are by far my most favorite cookie. Of course, I can make a mean Snickerdoodle too.

favorite cookie, eh? it’s a tough one, but anything that has peanut butter and chocolate in it can’t be wrong.

Thanks very much everyone. I am so glad you like the cookies!

Ember - The water added is to balance out the sugar amount and to avoid the batter getting lumpy and sugary.

Reeni - I had a great holiday… I ate too much but that is part of the fun factor

Kristie - I do agree. :)

Jenn - thank you and your quite welcome.

Natasha - WOW Thanks so much…. I will defintiely pass it on

Do I ever love chewy chocolate chip cookies, they are definitely my favorite.

Megan: “it’s 5:45 am. Is that too early for chocolate chip cookies?!” No. No it’s not. If you can have doughnuts for breakfast, you can have cookies. :)

Chocolate chip cookies are my all time favorite food. Funny thing, I’ve been baking them since I was a kid and whenever I’m feeling down, I bake a batch of chocolate chip cookies and feel better.

For the rest of the world, who don’t necessarily use cups to measure, here’s the recipe in metric:

150g melted butter
400g brown sugar
2 eggs
2 Tbsp hot water
286g all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
270g choc chips

Preheat oven at 190° C.
then follow the recipe above…

You wouldn’t believe how many people out there silently despise online recipes that only measure in cups.
