I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving. I will be going out to New Jersey to have Thanksgiving dinner with my nephew and his in-laws. One of my sisters will be there too. I think they only want me to come because of my specialty.
CHOCOLATE CHUNK COOKIES!!!
I've been making chocolate chip cookies for years. They keep getting better as I tweak the recipe. If they gave ratings for chocolate chip cookies, mine would be 2800 strength.
They passed the taste test. It's safe to go to dinner.
Next stop: Los Angeles and the American Open. Stay tuned.

"Lots more chocolate than the recipe calls for."
That's what I like to hear (and taste!).
bring some to the Marshall next time! Ill be there throughout December.
lol.
Nothing like good food on Thanksgiving! :-)
I have plans for the Thanksgiving weekend. What's your next tournament after the American Open, and can you bring cookies there?
Next time you're planning on visiting the Netherlands make sure to bake some of those cookies before you do and bring them with you.
Dangit, now i want cookies aswell. There goes my diet! :-)
Next round of frenzied baking starts about a week before Christmas. Hopefully by then they will have restocked my favorite brand of chocolate chunks. I wiped them out the other day.
Linux: If I'm feeling nice, I'll let you sample one today. I have a few in my bag.
How sweet. You are going to need those cookies when you play the condensed schedule today.
At the rate my tournament is going, I would do better to disconnect my brain and play blitz chess, anyhow. So, good luck today!
Linux: How did you like the cookie? Maybe I should bag this chess nonsense and start Polly's Monster Chocolate Chip Cookies.
Polly,
Those cookies were really good! The chocolate was even chocalatier. hehe. I love dark chocolate. That is probably how I like cookies, too much cookie dough can make me ill (or at least Subway's cookies have a bizarre effect on me like that). Chocolate is safe, and I like the extra butter, like it crispy, which also seems safe hehe.
The problem with fast food cookies from places like Subway and Mac Donalds is they use shortening instead of butter. It's cheaper, but really takes away from the flavor. I don't think your thing with Subway cookies is too much dough, it's what's in the dough. I will never use shortening or margerine in my cookies. Butter baby!!!
