Slightly crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. This recipe for chocolate chip cookies is the best of the best.
If you’ve been visiting Sweetnicks for awhile, you might have noticed that we’ve been on a seemingly endless search for the PERFECT chocolate chip cookie. And as deemed by my six-year-old, that means that the cookie is slightly crispy on the outside but super soft on the inside.
We have tried countless recipes in our quest, and some have come close, but none have been the call-off-the-dogs-this-is-it cookie. In fact, I have an entire Pinterest board dedicated to just this endeavor, filled with chocolate chip cookie recipe after chocolate chip cookie recipe. We have been making our way slowly through them, but so far, the perfect one has eluded us.
Until just recently.
And we actually came upon them quite by accident.
One of our friends from the animal rescue group that we volunteer with is quite obsessed with Harvest Snapeas.
An obsession I totally share.
I happened to mention the super-humongo size bags that Costco sells, and how much cheaper it is than at the grocery store, and offered to pick her up a few bags the next time I was there.
She wanted to repay the favor and asked if she could make the kids a batch of cookies.
Sure!
I pulled up to our meeting spot and she handed me a plate of cookies, which I gave to the kids, who were still in the car. I talked outside with her for a few minutes, and as soon as I got back in the car, Madeline exclaimed, “Mom! These are it! These cookies are amazing!”
And so here we are.
I am the first to admit that I generally skip right past any cookie recipe that requires a chilling stage.
I just don’t have much interest in a high maintenance cookie, you know? So many recipes, so little time…
But for the taste of these cookies?
And for the forever adoration of my daughter?
ANYTIME.
