I thought National Cookie Day would be the perfect time to share one of the most delicious recipes of all time. It’s not mine, so I feel like I can comfortably be that extreme about its greatness! I’ve tried making just about every recipe for chocolate chip cookies that exists. None even come close to the classic Néstle Toll House version. It’s included on every bag of chocolate chips for a reason!
The only upgrade I make to the Néstle recipe is sprinkling some sea salt on top of the dough before baking. It makes these cookies even more addictive if you can believe it. Everyone loves some salty with their sweet, surely!
Every time I make these cookies I’m reminded of one of my favorite episodes of “Friends.” Trust me, It would be easy to do my best Phoebe Buffay impression and say it’s an old family recipe, but it’s too much fun to see everyone’s face when I tell them it’s classic Toll House!
4 Stir Crazy Tips For Baking The Perfect Cookie
1. Use a cookie scoop to get perfectly rounded and uniform cookies.
2. Bake the cookies on a Silpat to achieve that delicious golden-brown bottom and chewy consistency.
3. Sprinkle cookies with sea salt prior to baking.
4. Under-cook the cookies just a little so they are gooey and delicious!
