The Nestle Toll House recipe is my favorite!. You can substitute the brown sugar and with Splenda's brown sugar for a lower sugar content; however, I must tell you that it will alter the flavor somewhat!.

Tip #1: Use unsalted butter, not margarine, for a richer flavor the way "grandma" used to make!. Unsalted butter is better to cook with because depending on the brand, the butter's salt content could vary!. As such, most chefs, myself included, use unsalted butter to better control the sodium level in the food!.

Tip #2: The best chocolate chip cookies are made with REAL vanilla extract, not the imitation stuff!. Trust me!.!.!. it makes a difference!.

Tip #3: All ingredients, including the eggs, should be room temperature before you begin!. The reason, the cookies (or whatever you're baking) will rise much better!.

Tip #4: Measure the sugar EXACTLY!. Some people are not careful with sugar, but adding too much makes cookies crispy!.

Tip #5: The best cooking surface is a stone; however, if you do not have one use a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper!. But becareful, if the metal pan you're using is dark in color, lower the temperature of the oven by 25 degrees!. Failure to do so will result in burned cookies!.

Tip #6: Timing is everything!. You don't want them dark!. You want them tan!.!.!. almost "raw" looking!. The reason is that as they cool and set, they firm!. When you get them too dark, they become crunchy!. Taking them out at the least amount of cooking time gives them that chewy texture!.


Following my recipe tips will help ensure perfect baking every time!. Good luck and happy eating!Www@FoodAQ@Com

What's the use of having a cookie if it's not really good!?
I like the Toll House Cookie recipe, but use whole wheat flour, add oatmeal and coconut (between 1/2 to 3/4 cup each), and double up on the chocolate chips, one bag white chocolate and one dark chocolate!. I spread it out on a deep baking sheet (on top of paper) bake it for around 20 minutes and afterwards cut it into bars!. This is neither low-calorie nor low in sugar, but it sure is good!!Www@FoodAQ@Com
