The Best Chocolate Chip recipe so far.

I use it, Joy the Baker uses it, Alton Brown uses it. It’s really just the best recipe I know out there… for us chewy chocolate chip cookie lovers.

This is Joy the Baker’s post on it

This is Alton Browns Chewy Recipe from the Good Eats episode : Chips for Sister Marsha (Youtube link)& Part Two

also featured in the episode

The Thin (Crispy) Cookie

The Puffy Cookie

I use the chewy recipe and add the variation of using browned butter instead of just melted butter (gives the cookies a toffee kind of flavor). To make browned butter melt the butter in a saucepan, keep the heat on until the butter starts to turn a hazelnut color. Turn off the heat and place the saucepan on a wet cloth (or a bowl of water) just to stop the butter from overcooking and burning.

I like to add things like walnuts and cranberries and nix the chocolate chips for a change.

CAULIFLOWER.

When I need it, I need it; and it will be the only thing on my mind. If I see a purple one or those green ones with the pointy pieces I HAVE TO HAVE IT.

The Pioneer Woman Cooks recently posted a cauliflower soup recipe and now I MUST HUNT DOWN some fresh cauliflower.

The Pioneer Woman, Ree, posts with lots and lots of pictures of each step of each recipe. She uses lots of ingredients that health conscious people would not use in such high volume, but the results sure do look delicious. Her Onion Strings look amazing. Lots of good recipes to be found
