My favorite Chocolate Chip Cookies

Everybody has a favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe, right?
Well, here comes mine.

Perfection, that's it.
I love a good chocolate chip cookie, and trust me, these are good!
The recipe's adapted from Jacques Torres' Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe. I changed the flours, because I couldn't find bread flour, and it worked out great!

I didn't just pick a recipe and said this is my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe, no. About a year ago, I made 6 different chocolate chip cookies and we had a big tasting. My parent, my sisters and me. We tried them all, multiple times offcourse, and then we decided these were the best.

I love these the most right out of the oven, when their warm, gooey, soft and a bit dough-like still but with a little 'crust'. And when all af that gorgeous chocolate is still melted and warm.... I could eat these all day.

These cookies have a lot of chocolate in them. I always use milk chocolate, because I like that better :)

The dough is too good to not eat at least half of before they go into the oven. Mmmm.....

You have to make big cookies, because... Well, I don't really know because of what, but they're just nice big.

Or super big (see the ones in the pictures)

 

 

And when they come out of the oven, you have this:

 

 

Aren't they beautiful?
