Tips on how to make my most favorite food: chocolate chip cookies

Posted by ecobodhi on July 9, 2008

Yes.

I admit it.

I’m a whole foods vegetarian chef and my favorite food is the Chocolate Chip Cookie.

I “opened” my New York Times online today to find an article on this most perfect of baked good. In the article, several apparent “experts” were interviewed about how exactly to make the perfect cookie.

Yummy!

Yummy!

Surprisingly, one of the most important things you can do is let your cookie batter sit for about 30 hours. Who knew? Also, it’s important to mix all your ingredients at room temperature. Don’t melt the butter in the microwave. Don’t use frozen butter. Lastly, salt is a critical component to not be overlooked. Be generous with the salt!

The article, with more tips and ideas, is below:

Don’t forget the (soy)(organic) milk!
