COOKIES: Double Chocolate Chips is My Favorite

Wake-up and have a cookie! A crunchy chocolate cookie or one that is molten like fudge. Have it with your coffee before starting your day! Cookies have the power to make you smile, a craving, a satisfaction. Big or small, thick or thin, a cookie is a satisfaction for the soul.

All the while, a cookie is just as complicated a concept if you take into account American English and British English. In the UK, a cookie is a soft, squishy, and moist biscuit. But in America, a cookie covers both what Brits call a biscuit and what they call a cookie. The origin of the word is from the Dutch word “koekje”, which means “little cake”.

An ice cream sandwich is a frozen dessert consisting of ice cream between two biscuits, wafers, or cookies. In America, it's typically ice cream flanked between two chocolate wafer-like pieces with holes punched in them, but you can use biscuits, cookies, and a number of other treats as the "bread."

How to do the perfect cookie: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Roll 1/4 cup dough into high, round balls with chocolate chips at the top. Place on a baking sheet a few inches apart and bake for about 9 minutes. You want to take them out when they are puffy and just a tiny bit brown on the tops and edges.

Most cookie recipes call for at least one egg. You can try omitting the white of each egg, which tends to dry out when baked, and replacing it with an additional yolk Plus, egg yolks have more fat than egg whites, which helps to keep your cookies moist and chewy. You can try using baking powder instead of baking soda.

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a couple of minutes before removing them and serve them while they're warm. To keep chewy cookies from turning dry and brittle, store them in a zipper-lock bag at room temperature with a small piece of bread (no more than half of a slice) placed inside.
