I *think* I can cook anything. Give me a bunch of random ingredients and I can make an good meal ( I even won an iPad for my mad cooking skills). I can even bake; I can make decadent desserts. Most often at restaurants Evan tells me something along the lines of "I like your version better". EXCEPT, chocolate chip cookies. Until tonight! I finally think I figured out how to make them. I know this sounds weird, but I have never found the balance between under and over cooked, spreading too much, or losing its cookie shape.
Here are some things I learned:
1. After creaming the butter and sugar, mix with the eggs for 3 minutes.
2. Add chocolate chips BEFORE flour so you don't over mix.
3. Keep dough in the refrigerator when a batch is in the oven.
4. Remove from oven when slightly undercooked and let sit on the baking sheet for a few minutes.
