The Cookie Quest
-Tollhouse purchased refrigerated (you bake at home)
vs Original Toll House Cookie Recipe ( on the back of the semi sweet chips package)
Vs Cooks Illustrated “perfect Chocolate Chip Cookie”
Results: If you just have to have a cookie NOW and you need it to be easy- store bought blob & bake will do
If you still want a Fairly quick, sure fire version that promises great flavor & texture- whip up a batch of Tollhouse ( I like to put them in the fridge or freezer on the cookie sheet for 15 minutes before baking to firm up )
If you want a deeper, caramel flavor that is chewy and soft in the middle and crisper on the edge- try the Cooks Illustrated brown butter version. It uses dark brown sugar, and you brown the butter instead of using softened butter.
