Almost everyone I know still uses a chocolate chip recipe on the back of a bag of chocolate chips or in a cookie book. This is sad, when the best recipes are still out there… although somewhat forgotten and unused.
Back in the mid ’70’s, the humble chocolate chip cookie was about to get ‘customized!’ (then, nearly 80% of all cookies baked from scratch were chocolate chip cookies… surprised? I suspect that this hasn’t changed much)
As an ol’ chocolate salesman from that era, I remember Famous Amos and his wonderful fist size cookies. Don’t look for them today…. they are not what they once were. However, for us chocolate lovers, it gave us a chance to rush to our test kitchens and try our hand at making ours better.
So, I thought, what’s better than to add the three most popular ingredients in cookie making: chocolate chips, peanut butter and oatmeal?
You can still make cookies best from scratch!
