Addictive Chocolate Chip Cookies

How do you know when you've hit on a good chocolate chip cookie? When everyone who tastes one reaches for another.
Chocolate chip cookies are funny things because, though just about everyone (except for a few crazies) likes them, everyone has a slightly different opinion about what makes a good one. Jeffrey Steingarten said it much better than I could hope to in It Must've Been Something I Ate. He likes thinner, crispier, butterier chocolate chip cookies. I like not-too-thin, crisp-on-the-edges and chewy-in-the-center chocolate chips. I add enough oatmeal to ensure a bit of a chew, but not enough to qualify as a oatmeal cookie. There is a nice amount of chocolate chips, but if you must have nuts in your cookie, add 1/2 cup of walnuts. If you don't have quick cooking oats, you can substitute instant. If you only have regular rolled oats, whizz them in the food processor or blender to break them up.
They really are addictive.

Mmm... nothing like a chocolate chip cookie! I like the oatmeal addition, I'll definitely have to try 'em!
Addictive Chocolate Chip Cookies? Isn't that like saying, Sitting Chair or Cooking Stove?
C. Chip cookies are hands down my favorite. Mostly because my gramma would make them for me when I was a wee lad, got to take a bag home. That right there is love. I've made them a few times since she passed, but it just wasn't the same. Ahhh, the good ol' days.

Next to brownies, chocolate chip cookies (CCC)are one of my eternal make-me-feel-better standbys. It's difficult to make a bad CCC, which makes me wonder then why there are so many tasteless ones being sold. I guess the best thing is that ccc's are really meant to be made at home and eaten as soon as they come out of the oven. :)
Gia-gina - Making new things always motivates me to exercise. Whether I do or not is a different matter....
Zarah - I say keep trying them until you find your favorite!
Dr Biggles - Yes, but notice how much more appealing they sound with the word "addictive" in the title.

You can never have enough Chocolate chip cookie recipes. They look awesome!
My gawd! In the last few days I've been looking for a choc chip cookie recipe that includes both oatmeal and walnuts, and haven't found anything that I really like. I was about to experiment on my own...and there you go posting the exact recipe I want. Incredible!
Something I've wondered recently - who are the recipients of all your baking goods? Do you have a posse of tasters, or do you have a lot of cakes and breads sitting around in your kitchen?!

I just discovered your page (from a link in 101 Cookbooks). I must say, the Hot Chocolate photo makes an amazing desktop for my computer! What are those gorgeous orange specs in the marshmallows?
Great recipe! Ground oatmeal is a great way to add incredible texture to a chocolate chip cookie... that's a secret ingredient in my recipe, too. Oh. Wait. Not so secret anymore. Well, then, might as well go "all the way" and tell you the other secret: when you are grinding up the oatmeal in the food processor, put a hunk or two of semi-sweet choclate in there and grind that down with it. Proceed as usual. Adds texture AND chocolate-y goodness! Yum!
Joe - Thanks. I agree!
Niki - Good question! Me, my brother, my neighbors, friends.... I haven't had too much of a problem disposing of things in the past!
Anonymous - Thank you. They're orange marshmallows that I made a while back.
Aimee - Great tip! I'll be trying that soon!

I love that idea of adding oatmeal for extra chew- I'll be borrowing that for my next batch of chocolate chippers :-)
Thanks for the recipe. I will try it, it sounds great.
I made these last night...oh my! SO GOOD! Thank you for the wonderful recipe, I'll definatly be using this again! Your blog is a go to for all things baked so thanks! :)
