"chocolate chip cookies" news and stories

Jennifer decided that the very best way to celebrate Bake or Break's second birthday was to share her very favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe with her readers. She baked up a batch (these puppies have two kinds of chocolate and homemade oat flour in them) and took some seriously drool-worthy pictures of them. This particular one makes me want to leap through my computer screen in order to show down.

Jennifer, thanks for adding your image to the Slashfood Flickr pool and happy anniversary!

Chocolate chip cookies are magic. Especially when warm. And sprinkled with sea salt.

Jim Mamary and Alan Harding were Brooklyn restaurant pioneers, opening a dozen restaurants in the past decade. But now people are mad because they say their restaurants are chains. Chains are bad. Yuppie fight!

If the above item makes you roll your eyes at New York, consider this: the city has roaming "Sweetmobiles" serving cookies, hot waffles, and crème brûlée. I heart New York indeed.

Eric Asimov gives poor, maligned dry sherry some love.

The Minimalist does cold soup.

A recipe for a pea and raw squash salad.

Fried milk. Cool. See for yourself.

Now this is what a chocolate chip cookie should look like. Thick, chewy, moist at the center, with a toothsome density that makes it feel like you're really eating something. And so full of melty chocolate chips that when you break the cookie in half chocolate drips from the edges. Thank Vanilla Sugar for the recipe, which attempts to replicate the cookies sold at Levain bakery in New York. Full of brown sugar, walnuts and a healthy dose of salt, these make for the kind of 4 p.m. snack that satisfies you in a way that a Snickers bar never could.

Notice that it isn't National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day. There are other things you can do with them besides the cookie route.

You can put them in pancakes, put them in bundt cake, and even in mint chocolate chip ice cream.

Of course, if you want to make chocolate chip cookies, here's the original Toll House Cookie recipe. I keep a bag of the Toll House semi-sweet pieces in my fridge and snack on them constantly.

Midwest Airlines has started selling cookie dough for its well liked chocolate chip cookies in a high end grocery store chain in the Kansas City area, Hen House Market. This comes less than a year after the airline began selling the cookie dough in Milwaukee area grocery store chain Sendik's Food Market. Spokespeople for the airline say that passengers have been asking about the cookies for years, so now the company is able to give the people what they want.

I haven't heard about these cookies, but it sounds like they are pretty popular. The cookies are actually baked in flight, which I found surprising. I have a hard time thinking of any airline food as good. I guess there is an exception to every rule. Has anyone had these cookies who'd like to share their opinion?
