My review: Well, we have a new leader in the race to finding the “Best” Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe. These are the softest most tender chocolate chip cookies I have ever tasted. The name “Award Winning Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies,” says it all. While I love the soft almost cake-like texture, there are a couple things I would change to make this the “Best” chocolate chip cookie recipe. First of all, this is the first recipe that I have tested that doesn’t call for salt, which makes the cookie almost too sweet. I would definitely add at least 1/2 teaspoon of salt to balance out the flavor. Also, this recipe calls for 4 cups of chocolate chips, which I felt was too much. While I love chocolate, I wanted a little more cookie. Who knew that adding instant pudding mix to cookie dough could make such a delicious cookie? They were so soft, that it almost tasted like I was eating raw cookie dough… and who doesn’t like eating raw cookie dough? I will definitely make these cookies again, with a few alterations.
Taste-Tester comments:
* “A really nice cookie, but I wanted a bit more crisp. Good for a soft cookie.”
* “Almost too creamy as if it were more cookie dough than a finished cookie, but very delicious.”
* “This tastes great! Not too sweet and very rich, but they are a bit too soft. A little more crispiness would make them perfect.”
* “I loved this cookie! It was nice and soft.”
* “So soft and tasty!!! One of the best cookies I’ve ever had.”
