I am always on the lookout for a new chocolate chip cookie recipe.  I’ve tried so many that I’m really tuned in to the subtle differences in the recipes I find.  The combination of downtime and Pinterest have led me to many new baking websites.

This recipe came from a blog called My Baking Addiction and is aptly called Big Chocolate Chip Cookies.  It required making 4 oz balls of cookie dough for huge cookies.  The good news is that I just received a food scale for my birthday!  Making accurate and consistent cookies was no problem.

Helpful scale for Giant Cookies!

Cookie result! Very uniform - thanks to measuring.

Yum.

These were very good cookies.  Perhaps too sweet for me, between the 2 cups of sugar (1 cup brown, 1 cup regular) and the 2 1/2 cups chocolate chips these seemed to be leaning on the sugary side.

Meanwhile, here is what Oliver was doing as I made cookies.  I promise he stayed away from actual ingredients. Look how cute his little face is resting on the box of dates.

Sleepy Oliver. Tired, but wants to be where the action is.
