My New Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

The problem declaring something your favorite is that when you find something you like better you have to say you have a NEW favorite.



I posted a very delicious Chocolate Chip cookie recipe here and declared it my "favorite". Well, I now have a new favorite Chocolate Chip cookie recipe. These cookies are so good that you really can't just eat one.


I googled for a chocolate chip cookie recipe and found this on the blog, mybakingaddiction.com. I thought I would whip up a batch but only had 2 sticks of butter. I always use butter when I bake. But, I did have some sticks of margarine in the refrigerator. So, I used 2 sticks of butter and 1 stick of margarine. The cookies came out so wonderful I am afraid to use all butter:) I'm afraid that they might not turn out as well if I don't.

I also used 2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips and 2 cups of white chips. YUM so good. This recipe makes a very chippy cookie, and I think that the white adds the most wonderful balance to the semi-sweet chips. My family loves a chippy cookie so, this is the perfect recipe.
I'm taking this batch to cub scouts tonight. They were a big with the kids.

Strawberry Pizza

Pin It

I have held on to the piece of paper that has this recipe on it since 1992/93. I was an intern at the television station where I currently work. I worked on the show called AM Buffalo and they would book people to do cooking demonstrations. As an intern I had all of the glamorous jobs. I had to type the recipe on the computer and print it out so people could send in a SASE to receive the recipe then I would stuff the envelopes and send them to the viewers.

A lady came on one day from Becker Farms and she made this Strawberry Pizza recipe. It sounded great so I kept a copy and make it every so often. My husband loves it very much.

I use strawberries from the store because last year we went and picked strawberries (at Becker Farm) and I am not a fan. I prefer to pick cherries.

I made this on the 4Th of July for the family and now my brother and his girlfriend are now fans of this dessert too.
