This Week’s Delish!

It’s official. The sun forgot where Germany is. It’s been one week since we put up our giant trampoline and we were only able to use it one day. And it wasn’t even that nice of a day- the sun was splintering through the clouds, but we were all still decked out in sweatpants and hoodies. Isn’t it almost June? The rain and the clouds are killing me. I don’t know if I’d make it in Seattle.

There was one day in particular where is was just cats-and-dogs-pouring. That was the day my daughter insisted beyond anything else that she must go on the trampoline. She whined and cried at the glass french doors in the back long enough that I finally gave in, “You want to jump on the trampoline? Go ahead!” I opened the doors up and she walked right out into a down pour. I expected her to freak out and come right back in. Nope. She kept going right to the trampoline like there was no rain! Then it happened- it was on the second rung of the ladder up the trampoline- she started screaming. Like all of a sudden she realized she was soaked in the sky was showering her with water. And wouldn’t you know, as soon as we got her back inside she turned around and said, “I want to go on the trampoline.” Lesson not learned. Haha kids are too silly.

Alton Brown’s “The Chewy”




How many chocolate chip cookie recipes does a person need? I think this may be the 5th I am sharing with you… is that excessive? Probably. But I swear it’s a totally selfless thing… I’m doing it for you really! I am determined to find the very best chocolate chip cookie recipe out there.

I’ve tried:

  1. Pudding Packet Chocolate Chip Cookies
  2. Cooks Illustrated Original Chocolate Chip Cookies
  3. Cooks Illustrated Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies (with browned butter)
  4. NY Times Chocolate Chip Cookie (Haven’t shared these yet)
  5. THESE! Alton Brown’s “The Chewy” Chocolate Chip Cookies

Hmmm, it’s probably even more terrible of me to say that I truly liked each and every one of those recipes. How cruel of me to give you so many options without giving you an ultimate winning recipe. It’s just hard to disappoint me when it comes to chocolate chip cookies. I am much more decisive in my cupcake trials (chocolate, vanilla, and red velvet).

This is a great recipe in itself though. Kind of a pain since it calls for bread flour though. Before I really truly got into baking I would have actively avoided a recipe like this simple because of that. Most people don’t keep bread flour on hand and sometimes you just have a craving for chocolate chip cookies and need to bake them NOW. This recipe wouldn’t help those people in that situation. Sure, they could go to the store to get some, but that’s pretty inconvenient when you have a craving.




I realize that I listed a cookie recipe on there that I haven’t even shared with you yet. Not very nice of me. It’s on its way though, I’ve been trying to space them out so I don’t overwhelm you all at once with 5 chocolate chip cookie recipes. I think after that I will post a nice little chocolate chip cookie comparison post for you and give you my final say on which one I rate as my #1.

Alton Brown’s “The Chewy”
  • 2 sticks (8 ounces) unsalted butter
  • 2¼ cups (12 ounces) bread flour
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ cup (2 ounces) sugar
  • 1¼ cups (8 ounces) brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 2 tablespoons (1 ounce) whole milk
  • 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
  1. Melt the butter in a 2-quart saucepan over low heat. Set aside to cool slightly.
  2. Sift together the flour, salt and baking soda into a medium bowl. Pour the butter into your stand mixer’s work bowl. Add the sugar and brown sugar and beat with the paddle attachment on medium speed for 2 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, whisk together the whole egg, the egg yolk, milk and vanilla extract in a measuring cup. Reduce the mixer speed and slowly add the egg mixture. Mix until thoroughly combined, about 30 seconds.
  4. Gradually integrate the dry ingredients, stopping a couple of times to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Once the flour is worked in, drop the speed to “stir” and add the chocolate chips. Chill the dough for 1 hour (this is VERY important).
  5. Preheat the oven to 375°F and place racks in the top third and bottom third of the oven.
  6. Scoop the dough into 1½-ounce portions onto parchment-lined half sheet pans, 6 cookies per sheet. Bake 2 sheets at a time for 15 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through. Remove from the oven, slide the parchment with the cookies onto a cooling rack and wait at least 5 minutes before devouring.
The darker the sugar you use, the chewier your cookies will be.
