Summer Chocolate Secret : The Science of Chocolate Chip Cookies

Due to the intense Louisiana heat, ChezSlaughter Chocolate is taking a break. However, to tide you over until the fall, we have a series of ‘Summer Chocolate Secrets’ that we’ll share over the next few weeks. Here’s a secret for chocolate chip cookies.

If you’re a connoisseur of chocolate chip cookies, you know that all are not equal.

Whether you find them in the pantry, at a party, or on a picnic, you know that chocolate chip cookies can range from ‘can’t-get-enough-of-them’ to ‘even-the-dog-won’t-eat-these.’

How does that happen? Well, it starts with the chocolate (are you surprised?) Tip: use high-quality chips such as Guittard.

Next comes the science. You can actually determine the destiny of your cookie – whether you want it:
* Oozy-gooey
* Baked with a nice tan
* Crispy with a soft center
* Chewy
* Just like store-bought
* And other variations on the theme
