Chocolate chip cookies are one of Americas most popular snacks. There is nothing better than a fresh baked hot out of the oven chocolate chip cookie with a cold glass of milk. I am going to give you some tips to making this already fantastic cookie even better. I know most of you are thinking “Can it get any better?”. The answer is yes it can and I’m going to tell you how.

The first thing you have to do is find the perfect chocolate. You will have many types to choose from so you may want to experiment with a few first. Chocolate chip cookies can have large or small chips of chocolate, chunks of chocolate, or chocolate candy like M&Ms. You could even break up a candy bar to put in your cookies. Tasting the chocolate before hand could be a wise decision.

Chocolate has very different tastes when you purchase the different types and quality available. There is semisweet chocolate, milk chocolate, dark and white chocolate to choose from. Having the family help out with the tasting is always a good idea. My family certainly would not mind sampling the chocolate and I’m guessing yours want either.

A combination of different chocolate in your cookies will give it a different taste. You could taste test a combination of chocolates together and find one that taste good enough for your cookies. Having a family chocolate tasting session can be lots of fun and give you quality time with your family. Beware of the kids eating to much chocolate, they may get pretty hyper.

You will need to decide whether you will use butter, shortening, or margarine. To do this you could either experiment with it or use the one you normally prefer. People tend to stick to what they prefer and they usually have a preference between these three. Be sure to use room temperature butter because cold and melted butter changes the results of the cookie.

Butter also should be unsalted if this is what you choose to use in your batter. Also you have to find a sugar. Most recipes will call for you to use granulated sugar but you could try dark or either light brown sugar. This gives the cookie a completely new taste. For chewier cookies you can try corn syrup. For a fresh tasting cookie use real vanilla extract and also fresh eggs.

The cookie sheet you use can also change the way your cookies cook. A shiny cookie sheet will prevent your cookies from burning or getting brown too quick on the bottom. Thin metal cookie sheets can also make your cookies burn. You also need to preheat your oven for about twenty minutes before you will need it. This will ensure that your oven is an even temperature so your cookies will cook more evenly.

Make sure everything is completely mixed together before you add in the chocolate. Adding chocolate too early can cause the chips or chunks to melt into the batter. Make sure you stir by hand when mixing in the chocolate. An electric mixer can also cause the chocolate to melt and blend into the batter thereby turning the chocolate chip cookies into chocolate cookies. I hope these tips help and I’m sure you will find many more ways to improve your recipe. Go make cookies and enjoy them.
