Smitten with chocolate chip cookies
I made smitten kitchen’s crispy chewy cookies tonight. It uses fully 50% more butter than the tollhouse recipe, but half as much salt.
First off, they spread like mad. That’s the butter. Second, they weren’t salty enough. That was the half as much salt.
They were billed as crispy AND chewy. They were not chewy.
The nice thing about chocolate chip cookie recipes is, they are rarely more complicated than tollhouse. The bad thing is, they are rarely better, either. And then you wish you had just stuck with the recipe on the back of the bag.
