Thick Chocolate Chip Cookies Tips for Success
- Top quality cookie pans will bake these Thick Chocolate Chip Cookies with even results. I like these American made, heirloom quality pans (view here).
- Try this recipe without changes first. The bleached flour, shortening, and ratio of sugars are specific to making thick cookies.
- The nuts, however, are optional.
- The longer you bake them, the harder they get. If you like your cookies on the tender side, start checking them at 10 minutes, using a probe thermometer. Because thick chocolate chip cookies contain eggs, the center of your thickest cookie needs to reach at least 170 degrees Fahrenheit, for safety’s sake.
- Thick cookies may need extra time to set. After baking, let them stay on the pans for 10 minutes, before moving to racks.
