Can’t-Stop-Eating Chocolate Chip Cookies
One of the greatest plagues and pleasures in my life is that I LOOOOVE chocolate, in any form!
I sometimes just get these chocolate cravings and find myself day-dreaming about new ideas for recipes using chocolate or wandering on Pinterest looking at pretty, yummy food pics.
Often I am satisfied with merely dreaming about delicious treats but I sometimes get this baking itch and I need to actually make one of those recipes. I often go for cookies which are just down-right delicious and so quick to make!
Who can resist the temptation of a cookie, really?
This recipe will meet every expectation you have about a chocolate chip cookie. It is simply amazing. A big part of it is that you make the chocolate chips yourself instead of buying ready-to-use chocolate chips in a supermarket. You just need to buy chocolate in bars and cut it up to make chunks of different sizes. And here comes the fun part! There are so many different kinds of chocolate bars nowadays that you can buy any one you like and create new flavors every time you bake a batch of cookies.
Bear in mind that if you buy white chocolate or a highly sweetened kind of chocolate you should put less sugar in your cookie dough so that the cookies are not overly sweet in the end.
The chocolate chips proportion is kind of random here. You can adapt it to how much chocolate you actually have at home or how much chocolate you want to have in your cookies. If you decide to add nuts to your recipe for example, you should also diminish the proportion of chocolate.
