Recipe Review

14th August 2010

bes30 from ,

I couldn’t wait to try this recipe, since it starts out with “This is our version of what is arguably the best cookie ever”. Does Chef Keller mean this is the best chocolate chip cookie recipe ever or does he mean that chocolate chip cookies are the best cookie and this is his version. I think he meant the later, but I am sure he is always striving for the best and I will judge this recipe based on claiming it is the best chocolate chip cookie recipe ever.

The recipe is super simple and easy to put together in less than 30 minutes. The cookie dough was phenomenal tasting and I couldn’t wait to bake them. The result was very good, but I am not sure they are the best chocolate chip cookie ever. I like the addition of 2 different kinds of chocolate and keeping them in bigger chunks definitely makes them better than using standard chocolate chips. My cookies were extremely flat and ran into each other.

I will subtract 1 star from my rating because I feel the super thin cookies were a result of a confusing recipe description. After finishing the dough, Chef Keller says that the dough can be refrigerated and also frozen, but doesn’t say it is required. I have a feeling refrigerating the dough overnight would prevent the cookies from spreading so quickly in the oven. I will make sure to try this next time.
