Creative Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

This is the link to the highest rated cookie recipe using chocolate chips on recipezaar - http://www.recipezaar.com/48532. I've never had these so I cannot vouch for them myself, but there are currently 84 ratings on this recipe that you can read thru to see if it's something you might like to try.

Here is the link to the second highest rated cookie recipe using chocolate chips. It's actually for a chocolate chip cookie and it uses vanilaa pudding in the recipe which sounds interesting - http://www.recipezaar.com/20408.

Here's another one that sounds interesting. Read thru some of the reviews and you'll see that one person used an orange cake mix for their batch and it sounds like it was a real winner! http://www.recipezaar.com/15559

Here are a couple more highly rated ones just for good measure:

Again, I've not tried any of these, but recipezaar is where I go anytime I need to try something new. My best advice is to read as many of the reviews as you can. They can reveal some very helpful hints!!

Good luck! Let us know how you do in the competition!

B.,

I use the recipe on the bag of chips. Then to jazz it up, I add chocolate pudding mix to the dough (or you could use cocoa power) to make the dough chocolatey. Instead of using the entire amount of recommended chocolate chips, I use half the recommended amount and substitute the other half with chopped up Andes Candies. When they've cooled, I will melt chocolate chips and put them in a baggie with a small corner cut off. Use it like a pastry bag and drizzle a little chocolate over the tops. Chill in the frige until chocolate hardens. They’re always a hit, and remind me of a Girl Scout thin mint – only better.

I like to add 1/4 tsp of cinnamom, 1 cup of semi ground oatmeal, and a handful of sweetend shredded coconut. My family just loves it. You can also sub the regular choc chips for the swirled choc chips!!!

Hi B.,

Try adding some oatmeal that is blended into a fine powder. I bake my cookies with the oatmeal powder, chocolate chip cookies, and shavings from a Hershey's Bar. Soooo yummy!!

Good luck!

Oh, I do...I do! This came out of the newspaper a while back when they revised Nieman's Million Dollar Cookies. They're great. If the recipe doesn't copy/paste well, feel free to email me at ____@____.com.

Million Dollar $250 Cookies
Yields 30-36

Ingredients
1 ½ c rolled oats
2 sticks butter, softened but still firm
¾ c sugar
¾ c brown sugar
2 eggs, at room temperature
1 tsp vanilla
2 c flour
1 tsp baking powder
¾ tsp salt
12 oz chocolate chips
4 oz grated or finely chopped semisweet chocolate
1 ½ c chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Place oats in a blender or food processor and blend until fine.
• With an electric mixer, beat the butter and both sugars until light, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time; beat 20 seconds after each addition. Add the vanilla; beat 15 seconds to blend.
• Whisk together the flour, processed oats, baking powder and salt. Blend the dry ingredients into the butter mixture. (This will be difficult because the batter is very stiff.) Add the chocolate chips, grated chocolate and nuts. (The easiest method of grating chocolate is to use a food processor.)
• Form dough into balls about 2 inches in diameter and place on baking sheet. Bake 14 to 15 minutes on the middle oven rack or until the bottoms are lightly browned. The cookies should still feel a bit soft at this point.
• They will not spread very much and will look undercooked. Do not overcook or they will become hard and dry when they cool. They will harden as they cool.
• Remove from oven and let cookies cool for 2 minutes on the baking sheet before removing to cooling racks. Cool at least 30 minutes before serving.

Doubletree chocolate chip cookies are huge, and easy to make. They have oatmeal in them which gives them a different taste then regular cookies.

Good luck!

I found a recipe on the net called Island Cookies. Not sure if it was on FoodTV.com or where, but they were a huge hit last X-mas. The cookies have shredded coconut & pecans and a few other things. They are totally YUMMY!!!

Do they NEED to be chocolate chip cookies, or can they be ANY cookie with CC in them?? I saw one in a magazine I have at home that are made with peanut butter and cereal...and it's a no-bake kind. I haven't tried them but they look WONDERFUL. Another idea is making coconut macaroons. There is a recipe on the bag of the non-sweet shredded coconut package (the blue bag, I can't think of who the maker is). You could make them as the recipe states (but add sugar to taste if you do buy the non-sweetened kind) and then top with CC at the end! YUMMMY! They are SOOO easy to make. I made those last X-mas too and got so many requests for the recipe. As you can tell, I LOVE making cookies!! ;)
