Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies

Every time I give someone a plate of these cookies I get rants, raves, and of course asked for the recipe, so I thought I'd share my source.  It makes for a caramel toasty flavor and perfectly chewy and soft texture.

My cooking notes and suggestions:  It's important to check the accuracy of your oven.  I've made these in multiple ovens and it makes a huge difference if its off by 5 degrees.  It suggests Ghirardelli chocolate, but Guittard is far superior in my opinion.  I have not found this brand at Walmart or Target, but Smiths has always carried it and I believe Whole Foods also has it.  Use freshly chopped pecans and toast them for the ultimate cookie.  (Make sure the toasted nuts cool before adding the chocolate chips or it will be a melty mess!)

  1. Guittard chips are THE ABSOLUTE BEST!! Of course, I also think my chocolate chip cookie recipe is the best. The next time I make a batch, I'll make yours and put them to the test.
