Chocolate Chip (Traditional)

[Rom]

cool, will check it out next time, if i keep going to the store my bf gets worried LOL, he thinks i go there too much and spend too much hahahaha

i have just never noticed it though, and i have been looking round the baking section a lot lately lol

Rom, just sub in a 1/3 cup of flour instead of the cornstarch. My friend does this regularly and swears the cookies are just as good.

 

[Rom]

oh cool thanks for that Alix!!!

 

[Alix]

My pleasure. Post and let me know how they worked out for you ok?

 

[Rom]

yeah i can make them tonight if i have time, no need to find the cornstarch altho i will look for it anyways and if ican find it make it with that as well and see what they taste like.

 

[Rom]

i never use brown sugar but once i asked on here about it and so i went and bought some, so im good to go now.

Rom, you will find cornstarch useful in many many areas. Its a wonderful thickener for sauces you would like to keep translucent. (Its also wonderful in place of baby powder on little kids!) And I think once you try brown sugar you will always have it. It has a richer flavour than white sugar. I have to admit, I use it almost exclusively. I even sub out the white sugar in many recipes and use brown. It keeps baked goods moister and chewier, and its better for brining meat than white. I hope you buy some and experiment with it. I bet you will be a fan!

OHH i couldn't make them last nite! my bf suggested we go out for dinner lol
tomorrow nite i am going to a friends for dinner and she won't let me make anything to bring (as if) so i will try to make the cookies and if i don't kill them maybe i will bring them as well. I am also making Coconut Burfi that i found a recipe of and my bf loves.

yes looking forward to trying Brown sugar. I have never brined meat...(perhaps the only person on the site LOL) i only heard about brining meat when i registered on the site LOL - actually since i have conme on this site i put random things in the shopping basket that i never used and my bf looks at me and is like whats that for,..i'm like COOKING hes like good good

thats it..the hunt is on....."here cornstarch here boy" lol jokes.

Following this thread finally got to me and I don't even particularly like chocolate chip cookies! But I made a double batch this afternoon and they are so darn good. (My first time making from scratch cookies - I always buy yard-o-dough kind.) Thanks so much for for prompting me to do this - the kids are looking at me in awe!!!
