If you do a browser search for “Chocolate Chip Cookies” you’ll be blown away at how many different recipes there are, each claiming to be the best ever. I learned to avoid any of these recipe blogs that says, “My husband absolutely loved these cookies and couldn’t stop eating them!” The truth is, her husband probably left her for another woman who was sensible enough to follow the recipe for Toll House Cookies on the back of the Nestle Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chip package and forgo all of the extra garbage that goes into the food bloggers’ “best ever” chocolate chip cookies.
How do I know this is the best recipe? I tortured myself by making a number of these food blogger “best ever” chocolate chip cookie recipes. When I’ve done blind taste tests, the simple recipe that’s on the back of the Nestle’s Toll House Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels package almost always comes out on top. Sure, the food blogger “best ever” chocolate chip cookies look great because they’ve got so much useless crap thrown in them, but that doesn’t mean they taste better, and they take four times longer to make.
Bake a batch of the simple time-honored Nestle Toll House chocolate chip cookies, take them to work or give them to friends and family, and you’ll be their hero for the day. Here’s the how-to video from Nestle’s website:
How to Make the Original Nestle Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookies, with Rita who has a somewhat forced smile, as in “I’d rather be hammering down vodka, but this is my day job.” The good news is this entire video is only 2:17–that’s minutes, not hours!
