Almost four years ago we published the first Chocolate Chip Cookie Project, a baking project undertaken during the height of the pandemic. The clear winner in 2020 was the Double Tree Signature Cookie. As 2023 closed out we noticed several articles touting the best...
At the end of 2023, King Arthur Baking Company announced its recipe of the year. The Supersized, Super-Soft Chocolate Chip Cookie inspired us to hold another Chocolate Chip Cookie Challenge. It's described as a "big, ultra-buttery cookie — full of deep caramel notes."...
This recipe comes from Anthony Underwood, a culinary producer and freelance culinary media consultant. After years of experimenting he came up with a cookie that incorporates all the favorite aspects of the recipes he tested. And even with the modifications we made...
This cookie from Saveur was the winner of our taste-off. It's no wonder Eater included it in its list of best cookie recipes. This recipe, based on Levain Bakery's cookies, produces big, soft, sharable cookies (that some tasters chose to keep all to themselves). What...
Thanks to BA's food director, Chris Morocco, nearly 30 batches of cookies went into creating this cookie. This recipe produces a thinner, chewy cookie with deep toasty notes from browned butter. This cookie landed right in the middle for our tasters but that doesn't...
For our tasters who preferred thinner cookies, this cookie was the winner. Not only did they appreciate the thinness, they also liked the sprinkling of finishing salt which enhanced the flavor of the cookies. This cookie came in second overall. To be clear, these...
Over the years my sister has made many different types of biscotti to the delight of friends and co-workers. As this Sunday, September 29th is National Biscotti Day, I wanted to share one of her favorites. This biscotti is filled with crunchy chopped pecans and creamy...
Every once in awhile you get a recipe that is the food equivalent of a mic drop. This is one of those recipes. When I brought them to the office for a taste test, it was just a sea of happy faces and I knew there was nothing we needed to change. Inspiration As much as...
What happens when you take a basic chocolate chip cookie, swap the semi-sweet chocolate for white chocolate, and then throw in some savory rice crackers? You get a delightful mixture of salty and sweet in cookie form that make up these Kakimochi White Chocolate Chip...
Growing up in Hawaii I had very little, if any, connection to the Jewish community. In fact, the Jewish community makes up only about 0.5% of the population in Hawaii and is getting smaller. 1 By comparison, Massachusetts has a thriving Jewish population. As...
At this time of the year there are so many beautifully decorated holiday cookies - from traditional gingerbread men to festively iced sugar cookies to snowflake linzer cookies. It's easy to forget about the humble slice-and-bake cookie but during the busy holiday...
#BakeADifference for @Cookies4kids with @OXO Like its cousin the gingerbread man, ginger cookies have all the flavors and scents of the holidays without the added work of rolling and cutting out cookies. In fact, the original recipe doesn't require refrigeration prior...
My sister is introducing my teenage nephew to the joys of baking. More often than not my nephew gravitates to simple chocolate sweets - chocolate ice cream, red velvet cake, Kit Kats. He is decidedly against nuts of any kind. With that in mind, my sister started him...
I have two things to share with you in this post - a fantastic cookie recipe and a great cause to support. Let's start with one of my very favorite cookies; a simple shortbread-like cookie with cornflakes. I don't think it's a uniquely Hawaii creation but it's...
What do 11 cups of all-purpose flour, 5¼ cups brown sugar, 10 eggs, 2¼ pounds of butter, and 8½ cups of chocolate chips add up to? A lot of chocolate chip cookies. We were late to the baking while on lockdown party. Somehow, we missed the memo that...
The undisputed winner of our Chocolate Chip Cookie Project is this gem from Hilton Hotels. While I've never had the opportunity to stay at a DoubleTree hotel and experience these cookies for myself I was told that these were authentic. I wish I could tell you what...
