Recipe:  Chewy Jumbo Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients: flour, cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, butter, sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla, chocolate chips

Taste: These cookies tasted like the standard chocolate chip recipe.  You can definitely taste the vanilla and brown sugar- so they are a little sweet.  I used dark chocolate morsels (larger than chips) so they were also very dark chocolatey.  There are 1.5 cups of butter in here (3 sticks!) so they are definitely tasty.

Texture: Like the name, they were soft and chewy.  Seems like they will stay that way instead of getting hard.  They are huge, partly because of the size that I made them, but they are also make with cake flour so they’re a little puffier than regular homemade cookies.

All in all, this seemed like a simple recipe, but it took a lot of work.  From creaming the butter by hand, to trying to soften the hard brown sugar, to mixing all the flour in (and there was way too much), I ended up going through like every item in my kitchen (bowls, utensils, etc) and I’m pretty sure my right hand and arm will be sore tomorrow.  I wouldn’t necessarily say they were worth the effort, as there are much simpler recipes out there, but at least I used up some of the ingredients I was hoping to get rid of.

Overall Rating:  8/10
