Heat them in the microwave or the oven for Warm Chocolate Chip Cookies. Serve with a Cold Glass of Milk & Ice cubes or a Mug of Hot Chocolate/Cocoa or Coffee.
Chocolate Chips
This recipe uses 300g of Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips. However, they could be substituted with chopped Chocolate from a Chocolate Bar, like the original Chocolate Chip Cookies. Or another variation of chocolate, and you certainly can add more if you desire.
Cookie Dough
The Cookie recipe below uses 5 Cups initially to make approximately 96 cookies. Add more flour if necessary to get a somewhat firm dough. Firm enough that it doesn’t stick to you when handling, and can hold its shape well when formed into a ball or rolled into a log for freezing.
Portioning Chocolate Chip Cookies
I prefer using 1 1/2 Tbl per cookie, although you could use less for mini Cookies or more for Bigger Cookies.
Freezing Cookie Dough
Freeze your ready-to-bake cookies, and you’ll be prepared any time a cookie craving strikes. This recipe makes a big batch, so you can freeze half of it.
Just Roll the Cookie dough into individual cookie balls and lay them on a baking sheet to freeze. Then place the frozen Cookie Dough in a freezer bag.
Freeze the whole dough by shaping it into a cylinder. Wrap in parchment paper and saran wrap and into a freezer bag.
You can always freeze the cooked cookies as well and warm them in the oven before serving.
Baking Chocolate Chip Cookies
This recipe calls for the oven to be preheated to 375 F. The idea here is to bake as fast as possible to minimize moisture loss, resulting in a deliciously soft and tender cookie.
Bake only until you start to see the Edges change color and then remove them from the oven and let cool. They will continue baking when removed from the oven due to the residual heat and set into Soft & Chewy Cookies.
The total Cook time for each tray is about 9 to 10 minutes. Ideally closer to the 9-minute side.
