I'll have to give this a try, though I like to add pudding mix to my cookies (hopefully you don't consider this blasphemy!) to make them extra soft--which seems like the opposite of this cookie, but you haven't steered me wrong yet!
Food Wishes chef, I want to ask. When you baked it in the oven, do you use top and bottom’s heat, or just the bottom one? I followed your recipe but somehow mine is not as crispy as yours... do you have any tips? 😅
I made these cookies for a bake sale, gone in 5 minutes or less. they were crunchy on the outer and soft middle and boy were they GOOD. I have 4 dozen to make for a 2 customers, Thanks for sharing.
For those wondering what the difference is between baking soda and baking powder: *Powder Puffs, Soda Spreads*. If you want large, thin cookies, use baking soda. If you prefer diametrically smaller but much puffier cookies, use baking powder. Or use both, it's up to you.
actually the reason his cookies are so thin and "spreads" is because his wet ingredients and tenderizing ingredients (sugars) greatly out-weigh his dry ingredients. Not enough flour (gluten) to hold its shape. BP and BS are both leaveners but they activate under different conditions. Try this : pastry flour or AP flour - 159g, BS - 3g, salt - 3g, butter - 79g, White sugar- 65g, Brown sugar - 65g, 1 egg, vanilla - 1g, choco chips- what ever amount you want. 185*C 10--14 min. This is a small batch.
People are sitting here complaining about the damn cookies like they're gonna get some lol. There's a billion videos about how to make regular cookies, go watch those if this isn't your thing. These cookies are making my mouth water right now lol I love thin crispy cookies 🍪
I've tried SO many cookie recipes and I just made this one today... I can't even began to describe how f* AMAZING this recipe is I didn't even know you could have such an experience with a cookie. I aggressively recommend everyone to do this recipe right NOW, I have severe migraines and this made my week. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
For those that have tried this recipe and not gotten the flat cookies like John, you might want to try weighing the dry ingredients, rather than using measuring cups. The first time I tried this recipe I measured the flour with my measuring cup and my cookies did NOT come out flat. They were regular looking cookies. I decided to try one more time, but this time I used a digital scale and the cookies came out perfect and flat, just like John’s. Flour, 2 1/4 cups=270 grams. Sugar, 1 cup=198 grams. Brown sugar, 1/2 cup=99 grams. If you weigh the dry ingediemnts, you may get the results you’re looking for.
Ugh! This did not help either. Mine simply will not drop, whether I put them straight in the oven or chill for an hour or two. Someone suggested using less flour, which is my next move🥴
@@chrishall2594 grass fed butter has a little bit of a better taste and it's not like you have to order it online from some obscure seller, most grocery stores have it. not sure how it's pretentious to use an actual better ingredient in your cookies. cows are supposed to eat grass but these dairy farms feed them a feed mixture of a bunch of stuff, not natural, sad for the cow.
@@weaselmaster98 And grass fed cows are actually a good source of Omega-3 fatty acids(not as good as cold water fish though), while grain fed cows have basically zero Omega-3.
These are now my new “go to” chocolate chip cookie recipe. I sprinkled a little tiny bit of flaky salt on top (the fancy kind) and it taste so good. I also added walnuts because to me chocolate chip cookies just aren’t perfect without them. Thanks for this recipe, Chef John!
Ingredients for about 32 Chocolate Chip Cookies (depending on size): 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour 1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt (or 3/4 teaspoon of fine table salt) 1 teaspoon baking soda 2 sticks (1 cup) very soft unsalted *butter (be sure the butter is room temp, and very, very soft!) *I used a high-quality European-style butter, and recommend you do the same. Cheaper butters will have more water content, which can affect the fat ratio, and thickness of your cookie. 1 cup sugar 1/2 cup light brown sugar 1 1/4 teaspoons vanilla extract 2 tablespoons milk 1 large egg 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips - Bake at 375 F. for about 12 minutes
My grandma made these when i was little!!, I always thought they were failed cookies at the time but i loved them, Im so glad to know their is a actually recipe for them, Thank you
Just so you know, when I feel a bit down and unsure of the world around me I come looking for a video of yours. Not only do I learn from you and get inspired to make better food for myself but your tone cheers me up. Thank you for that.
goobi I know, right? I just started "The Rock"'s workout routine two weeks ago and have been doing great with the diet plan, but now it's 3am and all I can think about is making these cookies. It's driving me crazy! Like literally... insane... 0.0
I cannot thank you enough! I’ve been trying for years to make these kind of choc. chip cookies, and now I finally did!!!!!!!!! I’ve asked others for their secret and they would never share. You’re so nice to share this recipe!!!
I happened upon you approx a year ago. This post is 12/04/18. DUDE YOU ROCK!! I've tried several of your recipes. So far only 2 I didn't care for. Hey... We can't like everything. I enjoy cooking. When I was a youngster I would help my mom prepare grubs. Was hooked ever since. She's gone since 06 and I miss her dearly. I'm 54 and hope you out live me so I can die with a happy tummy. Keep your foot on the gas👍
@Adam Bouallouche why would you assume something like that, how would that be the first thing that comes to your mind, I knew who she was when i saw the comment, she has almost 2 million subscribers
I have to admit, at first i was like " i dont like cookie crisps, i think that they are better soft, chewy and slightly gooey." But i was WRONG. Even though i didnt think that u would like it, it was AMAZING and very delicious! Thank you Chef John ^_^
I baked these for Christmas, and they were delicious! As promised, they were crisp around the edges and chewy gooey in the center. This is my new favourite chocolate chip cookie recipe, and I'm definitely going to bake them again in the future.
Tried this recipe out today and they turned out buttery, crispy and chewy -- everything you could ask for from a chocolate chip cookie! If anyone is having trouble with their dough not spreading thin enough, try placing an empty baking tray on the rack below for the first 6 minutes to let the dough spread and remove for the last 6 minutes allow the bottom and edges to caramelize. If it's still not spreading as much as you like, try lowering the oven temp to 350F :)
OH ME OH MY!!! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe! I've been searching for the perfect choco chip cookie recipe for years and you nailed it with this one! Crispy, chewy, buttery deliciousness all in one! It has the perfect slatiness too. I'm throwing out all the other recipes I've collected and passing this one down to future generations! Thank you Chef!
You are, by far, the least annoying US internet chef I watch. I thoroughly enjoy your videos and trying your delish recipes. I am a retired chef who specialized in 'comfort' foods. Smashed everything covered in gravy was my game...lol. Thanks.
These are excellent cookies! One way I'm handling "social distancing" is baking these for the family. I add pecans and they are perfect! Thanks, Chef John. Stay healthy!
Chilling the dough (Best results start after three days in the freezer) allows the flour to properly hydrate, improves browning, and also seems to help the dough to "shrink less"... The dough can be made in advance and stored in the freezer for 1 to 3 months thereabouts. Just divide into 1 tablespoon portions and freeze in a Ziploc bag. And they're ready to bake whenever you want fresh baked cookies.
Wow! These came out perfect. So buttery. Crispy and chewy at the same time. Recipe is correct for all measurements. I did weigh my flour and white sugar by grams. You don't have to, but it does make it easier. Packed the brown sugar by cups. I'm definitely making these again. Mine took 8 minutes, which is typical for that size scoop in my oven. Great recipe! Yum!
You stole my mother's recipe!!! I've made these for years but I prefer milk chocolate chunks. Sometimes I'll split the batch and add chopped Macadamia Nuts along with the chocolate. PS. YES, I have a sifter. It's the one my parents received as a wedding gift in 1946 and it still works.
The Cookie Cafe "came up with the same idea.." I seriously doubt that he brought an _idea_ up from somewhere down low. It had to have come from his mind
Try Carina Stewart's recipe. They are better. This recipe makes them sound too crunchy. Carina Stewart's recipe is way better. Don't judge me until you try it!
I have to admit this recipe had brought me and my daughter closer together. She does the beating and I buy the ingredients. Your video is better than expensive counseling sessions. Thanks!
Thank you so much for this recipe! I looked everywhere but couldn't find a chocolate chip cookie recipe without a mixer. Plus the cookies turned out delicious. Thanks!
Best cookie recipe ever!!! Every time I make them my family loves them. & every time I loose this recipe I have to look for this video again..... thanks for sharing
My mother always added an extra tablespoon of flour and used half butter, half margarine. It resulted in a higher, cakier cookie. No matter how they are made, I love chocolate chip cookies of all kinds. Personally, I make the different ways depending on my taste of the moment, but I love to add a little cayenne pepper to the batter. Yum.
JohnPyro even CJ couldn't do that to a chocolate chip cookie. but I believe I've seen him slip abit of chili powder into his other chocolate cookie recipe. I remember it because that was such an unusual ingredient to me at that time
I like using dark chocolate, a little bit of cayenne, and sprinkling a small amount of kosher salt on top. It's really good. If I REALLY want to get crazy, I'll switch in caramel chips for half of the chocolate chips. But I can't always get really crazy. You have to keep it classy most of the time.
I made this yesterday:) the cookies didn't turn out as thin as yours, but they still had the crispy and chewy texture which was sooooooo good. Thanks for the recipe.
I'm making these right now, they look so delicious! I really wish he'd include metric measurements in the write-up though. Having to bake using 'cups' and 'ounces(!)' is unnecessarily complicated for most of us outside the US
OMG!!! This recipe is the BEST that I have come across. I've been looking for a recipe like this that would mimic "Sweet Martha's Cookies" from the MN State Fair if anyone has ever had any. They taste exactly like that from the fair...warm, soft and crunchy around the sides straight out of the oven....so yummy!!! I kinda tweaked the butter ratio cuz i didn't have enough...so i put 1 stick of unsalted butter and 1 stick of shortening to make 1 c....it still turned out delicious!!! Thanks so much for your recipe!!!
This is the first time I make a cookie recipe successfully. The cookies were delicious just the way I like them thin and crispy. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
I remember Alton Brown saying that when butter is cold when you cook it, it keeps the shape longer where as warm butter melts long before the dough can set and this makes a very thin sad cookie. It sounds science-y enough so that's what I go with haha
lemmonsinmyeyes But, as we all saw, this cookie dough 🍪 WAS cold but the cookies spread out flat. So much for cold dough holding its shape longer. 🤨 ALTON!!!!😱
I got NO mixer around me and yet I need to do these beautiful cookies for my hubs. Glad that I came across your recipe! Thoroughly enjoyed your explanation in such a cheerful voice of yours. Thank you! Gonna make this now!
Oh yes, this is just how I like my chocolate chip cookies (or any cookie, really). Crispy, crunchy on the outside, and chewy on the inside. Thanks Chef John!
"Any kind of chocolate's gonna work here... except white chocolate... I don't like white chocolate" 🙄 OMG the way he said it!! lol but totally feel the same!
John, l love your recipes and your voice is soothing to me. These cookies are great. Chocolate chip cookies bought in the stores have an ingredient in them that doesn’t agree with my stomach. So, thank you for sharing your recipes with us.
i've always wondered, how does one maintain the chewiness of a cookie? i've made several chewy cookies in my time (summer of amena cookies included) and all were delightfully chewy the day i made them, but a day later became regular not-chewy cookies even though i had them in an air-tight container. makes me sad because my enjoyment of a cookie is exponentially higher when it's chewy. u_u
rayray93 The art of creaming the sugar and doing wet and dry separate stepped my cookie game up. That might be the secret of the chew factor. Edit: I forgot about chilling the dough as well. That is another great cookie secret. Chef John is one smart cookie...
rayray93 a trick I've found is to store them in an airtight container or bag and add in a slice or two of bread (a soft white bread works best). The cookies will osmosis the moisture out of the bread and maintain their chewiness. This even works if they've sat out a day or two and went from chewy to not chewy. Edit: Noticed after I posted that Isabella already shared this tip. So consider this just me backing her up!
I LOVE this guy. I discovered Chef John yesterday in a panic to make my first turkey dinner. It turned out amazing, now I'm stoned to the bone and about to make these cookies. Nice way to close out an otherwise terrible year.
I stumbled onto adding a touch of milk to my dough a few years back baking cookies for an office party. Everyone loved them. Most people prefer soft cake like cookies. I love the thin crispy ones like these. Thanks for the recipe showing I can use a milk alternative.
luis marquez If you want these cookies less crispy, skip the milk and use 2 eggs instead of just the 1 egg. I've been making them that way for 30 years and they turn out really chewy and delicious.
As someone else said, you get used to it. It used to drive me nuts but I've gotten used to it. I wonder if it's a regional way of speaking, I think I heard someone else talk like that once.
375°F burnt my cookies… i tried it at 338°F for 12 instead and it was perfect! even though the first batch was burnt, they still tasted really really good! these cookies are perfect with a glass of cold milk 😬😬 thanks so much for sharing!
actually burnt cookies are pretty good. not like black and crumbly burnt, but leave them in the oven for an extra 3 to five minutes burnt. i like crunchy things, and the extra browning on the bottom, especially when you add extra brown sugar, is a really nice touch. That's just me though :)
Finally made them last night!! Added some cashews. And did half chocolate chip and half Reese’s peanut butter chips. Can’t wait to try them!!! Also I ran out of white sugar son only used light brown for the whole sugar amount.
1:13 so THAT'S why American butter is so white!! I always wondered why that was the case, since all the butter in my country (NZ) is yellow like that. That makes me a bit sad--cows (and all farm animals) should be allowed to roam free!
SaltwaterWannabe Find ChefSteps cookie video - they're the thick, chewy cookies like Paradise Bakery's....soo good! Just very slightly different ratios..
I just tried the exact recipe and OH MY GOD! I just made the best chocolate chip cookies in the world ! Finally...after several failed attempts tbh :'D THANKYOU CHEF !
ThoughtsOfALeo Yeah but most of the world uses Celsius and it is easier to watch this video while cooking if it also mentioned Celsius without the need to open a calculator
IIGrayfoxII Oh, I thought you were asking, not suggesting it to Chef John. I agree that at least putting the Celsius temperature as an annotation would be nice for his international viewers. Hopefully he sees this comment and decides to include your idea! (:

I'm two years late, but for a cookie with more volume substitute 1/2 the butter for margarine :)
I would call them wafers, but, yeah, not really cookies.
of course they're real cookies....
Nailah ikr lol i was like what them are cookies they look way toooooo thin
I've never been a fan of chocolate chip cookies, but these are irresistible.
THE BEST CHOCOLATE CHIPS COOKIES!!
Thank you chef 👨🏻🍳John
My mother always added an extra tablespoon of flour and used half butter, half margarine. It resulted in a higher, cakier cookie. No matter how they are made, I love chocolate chip cookies of all kinds. Personally, I make the different ways depending on my taste of the moment, but I love to add a little cayenne pepper to the batter. Yum.
'Thoughtful Spatulation' - Chef John, seriously. Not sure if I want to giggle or slap you.
I laughed- admittedly it was a a pity laugh that a loyal friend offers when there's pin-drop silence after your joke-but I laughed dammit.
Those are cookies, but WTF no cayenne ?!!
JohnPyro even CJ couldn't do that to a chocolate chip cookie. but I believe I've seen him slip abit of chili powder into his other chocolate cookie recipe. I remember it because that was such an unusual ingredient to me at that time
I like using dark chocolate, a little bit of cayenne, and sprinkling a small amount of kosher salt on top. It's really good. If I REALLY want to get crazy, I'll switch in caramel chips for half of the chocolate chips. But I can't always get really crazy. You have to keep it classy most of the time.
@@walksoflifesixnine you forget a favourite parmigiano reggiano grated...
“Oh yeah Chef John’s a little more of a hippie than one would suspect”
I made this yesterday:) the cookies didn't turn out as thin as yours, but they still had the crispy and chewy texture which was sooooooo good. Thanks for the recipe.
these are insanely good.
i can't believe how something can be light, flufy crispy and chewi at the same time.
thanks for sharing the recipe
I'm making these right now, they look so delicious! I really wish he'd include metric measurements in the write-up though. Having to bake using 'cups' and 'ounces(!)' is unnecessarily complicated for most of us outside the US
I love that you are a little bit of a hippy, Chef John~ Now I'm going to make cookies!!!
Chef John: Any kind of chocolates gonna work here-
Me: Yay I'll use white chocolate!
Chef John: -Except for white chocolate
Me: ......
OMG!!! This recipe is the BEST that I have come across. I've been looking for a recipe like this that would mimic "Sweet Martha's Cookies" from the MN State Fair if anyone has ever had any. They taste exactly like that from the fair...warm, soft and crunchy around the sides straight out of the oven....so yummy!!! I kinda tweaked the butter ratio cuz i didn't have enough...so i put 1 stick of unsalted butter and 1 stick of shortening to make 1 c....it still turned out delicious!!! Thanks so much for your recipe!!!
This is the first time I make a cookie recipe successfully. The cookies were delicious just the way I like them thin and crispy. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
All the new people like "Why does he talk with upward inflections?"
Trigger trigger trigger :P
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR VOICE!!!!!
Me too.... I had to ask awhile back because I thought he might be Tom Bodett from Hotel 6 commercials.. LOL
I remember Alton Brown saying that when butter is cold when you cook it, it keeps the shape longer where as warm butter melts long before the dough can set and this makes a very thin sad cookie. It sounds science-y enough so that's what I go with haha
lemmonsinmyeyes but not ina high temperature because if it's to hoy it cooks on the outside but it stays red on The inside
I love your reference to Chef Alton Brown. He’s my favorite teaching chef.
lemmonsinmyeyes But, as we all saw, this cookie dough 🍪 WAS cold but the cookies spread out flat. So much for cold dough holding its shape longer. 🤨 ALTON!!!!😱
I've made this. honestly best cookies I've ever had, kept just making half a fresh batch and eating right away. yum.
I got NO mixer around me and yet I need to do these beautiful cookies for my hubs. Glad that I came across your recipe! Thoroughly enjoyed your explanation in such a cheerful voice of yours. Thank you! Gonna make this now!
Your mustache is fake!?!?! My life has been a lie....
wait what makes you say that
was it mentioned in the video and then I just missed it
HeyIt'sNatalieC Yeah. At 0:15.
Beko Gonzales I thought he said big, but I could be wrong
+edward ford most girls don't...
Almond milk, then adds an egg. You're the worst hipster.
Well thankfully hipster doesn't mean vegan 😝
steamc4tz Chef John is no hipster! You take that back!
harmonyskies19 Eggs don't mean vegan, either.
There was already butter in the mix so the dairy food group was taken care of. Lol.
HomesteaderChick I know that, and Chef John knows that too lol. The hipster part about this dish is the "almond milk" .Nothing vegan about it. :D
You know he cut the camera and ate a chunk of that sweet sweet dough.
I’ve been searching for the perfect cookie recipe. This is it!!!! Thank you 🙏
Oh yes, this is just how I like my chocolate chip cookies (or any cookie, really). Crispy, crunchy on the outside, and chewy on the inside. Thanks Chef John!
"Any kind of chocolate's gonna work here... except white chocolate... I don't like white chocolate" 🙄 OMG the way he said it!! lol but totally feel the same!
White chocolate is neither.
When you scooped it onto the table I found that irrationally funny
"Instead of scooping these on to a table...." LMAO!!!
OMG! I’m sooo happy listening to chef John! Your tutorial on chocolate chip cookies is funny, helpful and Grand!! You make my day!!❤️👍😘
John, l love your recipes and your voice is soothing to me. These cookies are great. Chocolate chip cookies bought in the stores have an ingredient in them that doesn’t agree with my stomach. So, thank you for sharing your recipes with us.
Not a fan of the soybean oil or whatever "natural flavors" are.
"i dont like white chocolate".....you sir have gained a new subscriber
1:13😂🤣” cuz they let them eat grass like they’re supposed to” awww the good ole days✌🏽👩🏽🔧
i've always wondered, how does one maintain the chewiness of a cookie? i've made several chewy cookies in my time (summer of amena cookies included) and all were delightfully chewy the day i made them, but a day later became regular not-chewy cookies even though i had them in an air-tight container. makes me sad because my enjoyment of a cookie is exponentially higher when it's chewy. u_u
rayray93 These are still chewy the next day!
Try using bread flour!
Usually when I bake cookies, I put them in a container and place white bread on top of them. They stay nice and soft :)
rayray93 The art of creaming the sugar and doing wet and dry separate stepped my cookie game up. That might be the secret of the chew factor.
Edit: I forgot about chilling the dough as well. That is another great cookie secret. Chef John is one smart cookie...
rayray93 a trick I've found is to store them in an airtight container or bag and add in a slice or two of bread (a soft white bread works best). The cookies will osmosis the moisture out of the bread and maintain their chewiness. This even works if they've sat out a day or two and went from chewy to not chewy.
Edit: Noticed after I posted that Isabella already shared this tip. So consider this just me backing her up!
I LOVE this guy. I discovered Chef John yesterday in a panic to make my first turkey dinner. It turned out amazing, now I'm stoned to the bone and about to make these cookies. Nice way to close out an otherwise terrible year.
I stumbled onto adding a touch of milk to my dough a few years back baking cookies for an office party. Everyone loved them. Most people prefer soft cake like cookies. I love the thin crispy ones like these. Thanks for the recipe showing I can use a milk alternative.
if you will add oatmeal instead of chocolate chips you will have the best ever oatmeal cookie
Maybe both.
Too crispy and thin for me
Me too
luis marquez Same.
luis marquez I suppose you could use a muffin tray with a bit more dough.
Good Eats should give you an idea of how to alter the recipe to meet your needs.
luis marquez If you want these cookies less crispy, skip the milk and use 2 eggs instead of just the 1 egg. I've been making them that way for 30 years and they turn out really chewy and delicious.
This dude talks like there is a question mark in the middle of every sentence.
Drives me crazy! I was wondering if it bothered anyone else. Informative channel but the sing song voice is annoying as hell.
Don Gamb You’re annoying as hell. Chef John is adorable.
@@Talula-Darling and you're arrogant.
As someone else said, you get used to it. It used to drive me nuts but I've gotten used to it. I wonder if it's a regional way of speaking, I think I heard someone else talk like that once.
@@nadiad.8323 Writing a comment specifically to complain about the inflection of the voice of the narrator is pretentious, frankly.
we hate almost every youtube wannabe cook but you are our hero. cheers to your way of speaking
375°F burnt my cookies… i tried it at 338°F for 12 instead and it was perfect! even though the first batch was burnt, they still tasted really really good! these cookies are perfect with a glass of cold milk 😬😬 thanks so much for sharing!
I like his voice
Ariel Morales not me! lol
Me too! Not everyone likes it
*reads the title*
Me: EXSCUSE ME!!!!! ALL COOKIES ARE PERFECT AND DELICIOUS!!!!!
Me:.......except for burnt cookies.....
actually burnt cookies are pretty good. not like black and crumbly burnt, but leave them in the oven for an extra 3 to five minutes burnt. i like crunchy things, and the extra browning on the bottom, especially when you add extra brown sugar, is a really nice touch. That's just me though :)
I like fresh baked thin chocolate chip cookies
Katira Shawn. Come to the minnesota state Fair and get a bucket of Sweet Martha's chocolate chip cookies. You'll never look back!
I just made these cookies and they are delicious. I made them gluten free. Crispy and perfect inside.
Finally made them last night!! Added some cashews. And did half chocolate chip and half Reese’s peanut butter chips. Can’t wait to try them!!! Also I ran out of white sugar son only used light brown for the whole sugar amount.
1:13 so THAT'S why American butter is so white!! I always wondered why that was the case, since all the butter in my country (NZ) is yellow like that. That makes me a bit sad--cows (and all farm animals) should be allowed to roam free!
wow kermit telling me how to make cookies🥴🥴
How is he kermit?
You can some what hear it..
“What’s worse than licking cookie dough off your fingers?”
Salmonella
A lady use to make these every holiday season ad bring them to share a work. They ARE the best.
Might try these i just love the way Chef John speaks and explains the recipe. 😊
Mmmmm..... Cookies!
The way he talks is kinda odd. He emphasizes words randomly.
gargamel55 RIGHT!!!! it's pretty annoying, I think
"Except white chocolate, I dont like white chocolate"
...
You sir have made an enemy this day.
Way too thin! I like my cookies fat, thick and chewy with a good mix of assorted chocolate chunks.
I can never get mine like that. Wish there was a recipe for thick chocolate chip cookies
Amelia Bee These are more French patisserie style than I am used to. Fix for a different craving, but man would they taste brilliant.
Try alton brown's recipe he showed 3types of cookie crispy,chewy,puffy during chips for sister marsha ep.
SaltwaterWannabe Find ChefSteps cookie video - they're the thick, chewy cookies like Paradise Bakery's....soo good! Just very slightly different ratios..
+Alexander Reynolds Thanks, they were great!
I just tried the exact recipe and OH MY GOD! I just made the best chocolate chip cookies in the world ! Finally...after several failed attempts tbh :'D THANKYOU CHEF !
I used dark brown sugar and I loved it!!! Thank you ❤
Can you also mention what temperature is in Celsius as well?
IIGrayfoxII According to Google's Fahrenheit to Celsius converter: 375 equates to approximately 190 degrees (190.556). Hope that helps!
ThoughtsOfALeo Yeah but most of the world uses Celsius and it is easier to watch this video while cooking if it also mentioned Celsius without the need to open a calculator
***** Euro trash?
I am not from europe
Why use an archaic system based on brine?
only 5 countries still use Fahrenheit
IIGrayfoxII Oh, I thought you were asking, not suggesting it to Chef John. I agree that at least putting the Celsius temperature as an annotation would be nice for his international viewers. Hopefully he sees this comment and decides to include your idea! (:
+ThoughtsOfALeo I also believe that people who are too lazy to use google for 5 seconds don't deserve to have this recipe.
