Just a Few Pointers Before You Start Your Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe Baking Journey!

• Follow the directions to a ‘T’. I read the commentson Williams Sonoma Taste and some of the issues were flat cookies and too many chocolate chips, so I did decrease the chocolate chips 1/4 cup for this recipe, which are still chocked full of chocolate chips. LoveGhirardelli Chocolate Chips. 🙂
• Toavoid ugly, flat cookies, be sure your butter is room temperature (not melted or even softened), and use a cooler dough vs. warm dough. Just pop it in the refrigerator a bit before baking if it feels warm. I like to scoop all the dough and place them all on a cookie sheet and put them in the fridge for 10-15 minutes for extra thick cookies! That’s called flash-freezing and I love using this method!
• Measure flour correctly! Fluff up the flour in the bag or canister. In order to make sure you’re not scooping up packed flour, you should fluff it up with a spoon or fork before you measure it. Spoon the flour into the measuring cup.Gently pile it in until it forms a heap above the rim of the measuring cup. Then, scrape a knife across the top of the measuring cup to level the flour.This way, you’ll get rid of excess flour on top of the cup without packing down the flour inside. Perfect measuring!
• Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe Tips: If you’re in chocoholic mode, go the full 2 1/4 cups of chocolate chips as the recipe calls out. If you want to tone down the chocolate chips, just use a lesser amount to your liking. 1 1/2 cups is good for those that want chocolate flavor, but not chocolate overload. 🙂
