be better to put in raisins instead of walnuts in your chocolate chip cookies?

Seems like a no-brainer

My wife and I have experimented with probably 100s, yes 100s of recipes. Can confidently say these are the best cookies we've ever made. Follow the directions PERFECTLY

Any recipe will do so long as you have flour, eggs, regular sugar, and quality chocolate chips. I like a darker semi sweet as opposed to milk chocolate.

IMHO any recipe that does not use some dark brown sugar isn't worth making.

Everyone loved my mom's chocolate chip cookies. She used all of the above, but her secret ingredient was crushed walnuts. She powdered them in a food processor. It added a great flavor and nobody who ever hated walnuts even knew unless they had an allergic reaction I never heard about.

Sometimes she'd leave a few whole walnuts in there, but powdering them gave the cookies their distinct flavor.

LOL

with nuts?

I also can't stand chocolate chip cookies with too many chocolate chips. The cookie is the most important part and if you don't do that right the toppings don't matter (similar to pizza).

Have no fear, they aren’t chocolate chip cookies anymore if you add other stuff! Crisis averted.

it really great. Of course you are using Crisco, but you might as well go out with good cookies.

I have a copy of that recipe saved somewhere. Spoof or not, they're delicious - I enjoy the oats.

I actually think that that was the last line of the emails.

WTF is wrong with both of you

but really, why are we putting nuts and raisins in chocolate chip cookies? raisins especially, that are similar enough in color to chocolate and not a pleasant surprise.

here is a recipe very similar to mine (have to use brown sugar) that has walnuts in it

I'm old enough to remember that Mrs. Fields was the landlord's wife on Abbott and Costello

of chocolate chip cookies- soft/chewy or crunchy. I prefer soft.

You can't be trusted, you don't even like chocolate chips in the cookie! Next you're going to tell me you like em burnt to a crisp.

Soft and chewy ONLY

microwave 30 seconds, you're welcome.
As good as anything you could make

bite into a chocolate chip cookie only to discover that it is actually oatmeal and raisin.

I've mentioned that before, lol. Totally pisses me off. You should only be allowed to use golden raisins in cookies

This might be one of my favorite threads ever here!

just go here.

dip the cookie in ketchup.

Pepperidge Farms remembers...

also melted in the microwave for 30 seconds. Way, way better than Pepperidge farm, if they sell in your region.

Chocolate chip cookie dough melted for 70 seconds is pretty excellent, also. Very chocolaty, very crunchy, despite the use of a microwave.

Have you tried this one?

Castle Hill Inn Cookies - ( New Window )

Was the strawberry frosted donut Oreos. Those were amazing unfortunately I discovered them at the end of the run and got only two packs before they were done but man just like the dunkin doughnut strawberry frosted.

It must be a day where Grey Pilgtim starts a weirdish thread.

Ok.

of SFGFNCGiantsFan's opinion on this.

The main problem with the intolerance thread was that it was doomed to go political. I thought that it was great fun while it lasted.

Yeah, you're probably right. And my 'intolerance' of cars with loud mufflers-which I mentioned in that since deleted thread- has gone up a level, as I've heard like seemingly 5 today. Those bastards.

btw, that recipe was rated 4.4 out of 5, which is very low for an Ina Garten dessert

Cookie dough cooks up better if it's refrigerated after it's made.

I make up a batch and roll it up in logs wrapped in Saran wrap. Store in the fridge for a week or two or freeze it.

Easy enough when you want fresh cookies to slice a few and bake anytime.

Also good to slice off a chunk raw when the urge arises.

Sarcasm about the relatively low rating? No. The baked goods I make from her recipes are rated 4.6-4.8. The chunk cookies may be very good, just saying I personally won't do anything rated 4.4 on FoodNetwork

At least, I'd read the reviews of 4.0 or less and see what people are complaining about. If you feel the complaints are not a problem for you, go for it.

a 4.4 review is pretty good.

Though I usually modify the recipes to add more nuts, sugar etc.

I'm going to try some of these!
