Go now and take your favorite chocolate chip recipe that you “love” and destroy it like it’s a bad breakup letter you never want to see again. I’m just kidding. But you don’t know what chocolate chip cookie love is until you have tried this recipe. I’m pretty confident these cookies are just so good that you will rid your life of whatever chocolate chip cookie recipe you consider to be the best without ever looking back. I did. Search my blog and you will notice I have deleted my old chocolate chip cookie recipe. It is nowhere to be found, for good reason. I have spent what feels like decades trying every chocolate chip recipe out there and every trick, along with every fancy ingredient. I have spent hours pondering what would create the perfect chocolate chip cookie. How could it be done, and what hadn’t been done before? So, you most likely noticed I mentioned a whopping FIVE secret ingredients, yes five! Here they are: It hit me one day, finally, when I was on vacation, to try this ingredient. It didn’t hit me until then because I don’t even drink coffee so I never buy coffee creamer powder. I’ve tried so many ingredients before, browned butter, sour cream, shortening, melted butter, dry milk, cream cheese, pudding mix, and even those long refrigeration-required recipes (really who can wait that long for a cookie?). Then I saw it, the coffee creamer powder and I knew this was going to be good. To me, your favorite chocolate chip cookies you make says a lot about what kind of cook and baker you are. Do you play it safe and stick with the recipe on the back of the chocolate chip bag and just accept it as the best? Do you buy pre-made cookie dough at the grocery store? Do you experiment and add unusual ingredients? Are you willing to try alternate recipes and tips? Well, that is one reason I created these. I want these to show you what I am about as a cook and baker. I love creating and experimenting! I’m not afraid of failures because I know somewhere along the way I will find my successes. I like to be different and bold. I like to make cooking exciting for people and help people find confidence in the kitchen. And mostly I love to see the smile of satisfaction the food I create puts on people’s faces, and how it brings family and friends together to enjoy great times and build memories. I mean come on, at a party is the food ever not the center of attention =)? I hope you thoroughly enjoy this recipe and share it with everyone you know because good food is made to be shared. So thick and moist…
