Chocolate Chip Cookies
A chocolate chip cookie is a drop cookie that originated in the United States and features chocolate chips as its distinguishing ingredient. The traditional recipe combines a dough composed of butter and both brown and white sugar with semi-sweet chips. Variations include recipes with other types of chocolate or additional ingredients, such as nuts or oatmeal.
The recipe for cookies uses a thick dough containing flour, sugar, vanilla essence, butter, baking soda, salt and of course, chocolate chip. These chips can be substituted for peanuts or oats and for a truly soft recipe are baked for only a short amount of time to give them their famous doughy texture.
It will depend upon requirement that what type of cookie you want. According to the need ratio of ingredients, its mixing and cooking time give you a softer, chewy style cookie while others will produce a crunchy/crispy style. Regardless of ingredients, the procedure for making the cookie is fairly consistent in all recipes.
Since its birth, there have been many variations on the original Nestle toll house recipe. Double chocolate chip cookies are popular and substitute the vanilla flavoured dough for chocolate, giving the cookie an additional richness. Flavour combinations such as white chocolate with macadamia, toffee, oatmeal and raisin and peanut butter have all grown to become classics in their own right, tweaking the simple chip cookie recipe of 1933.
Today practically all commercial bakeries have their own variation of the chip cookies and many chains sell their own freshly baked-cookies on premises. Millie's Cookies sells freshly baked cookies with a large selection of flavours to choose from. Supermarkets stock favourites such as the Maryland cookie, designed to recreate the home-baked chocolate chip cookie recipe. Popular ice-cream brands such as Baskin & Robbins and Ben & Jerry's have a chocolate chip cookie-dough flavoured ice cream, containing chunks of soft cookie dough in vanilla ice cream.
