I dont often get a craving for sweets, but last night during a conversation with a friend, Chewy Chips-Ahoy were mentioned and I quickly remembered the bag of chocolate chips in my cabinet.
I looked over a few different variations of recipes and settled on Martha Stewart's version from Suitable for Consumption's blog (click article title for link). My mother swears by Martha's brilliance (in the kitchen) and I decided to try it!
The recipe was pretty simple and straight forward and didn't require me to chill the dough first. A few others I saw were going to make me wait 24 hours! And who really wants to wait that long for cookies? In the first batch I made the dough balls a little smaller than recommended, worried that they may spread and bake together, but these stayed nice and plump and perfectly formed. The recipe called for a 15 minute cooking time, but I found 12-13 minutes worked well and if I pulled them earlier I could have had the more chewy cookie I was hoping for.
On the final batch I made the balls bigger and they came out closer to what I was looking for. One has to be careful with baking, it is a very touchy science.
I do think I would try this recipe again, but maybe chill the dough for an hour first to make them cook slower inside for a chewier consistency.
Enjoy!
