I’ve decided to post a classic recipe this time.

This past weekend was an Israeli holiday and I got invited to a dinner where I decided I wanted to bring dessert as a thank you, and I decided to go with a classic chocolate chip recipe to show my Israeli friends what kind of classic American treat we used to eat while I was growing up. There’s nothing like a classic chocolate chip jumbo cookie. Here I used dark chocolate chips and white chocolate chips and made these cookies a nice tennis ball size so they came out of the oven chewy and fudgey, just divine. I recommend the mix of dark chocolate and white chocolate because it really

balances the sweetness of the cookies. These take no time to make, and there always a hit at any dinner party or just as a snack. Of course you can enjoy them with a classic cup of milk and there’s not much more you need

i hope you enjoy 😊 🍫 🍪

Tips

Whenever I make cookies I like to place the batter for 20 minutes to cook in the refrigerator before I begin to make the balls for the cookies
Letting the butter set helps the cookies bake at there best and and it’s also easier to work with the batter when it’s firmer

I’ve been called the Queen of Chocolate Cookies for years and I find this recipe interesting. From a basic miscalculation on my part, I discovered using half of the butter/margarine called for in the recipe produces the best cookie structure, i.e., not flat and crispy but puffy and chewy. So, I will try this recipe using more butter than I would ever use and let you know how it compares with my award winning creation…….at least according to my family and friends.

Have you ever put the dough or cookies in the freezer? Just curious to how they held up after freezing ....to bake at a later time

  We do this and it keeps them from spreading to quickly and getting too crispy.

  The dough will keep for weeks in the fridge! I’m a dough eater, take a couple of spoonfuls of dough, microwave for about 15-20 seconds—-yum!!
