Hi foodies!!
So, after doing so many things in my kitchen, the local clientele (a.k.a. my 3 lovely children) is getting a bit picky…
Mom, your cookies are good, but we’d rather you made big American cookies like the ones from biiiip! (I’ll keep the name of a certain @#!\$%£ chain to myself).
Anyway, here I go making big American cookies!
Already several cookie recipes
And yet, I already have 3 really nice cookie recipes here…
* The gooey-centered cookies: soft cookies with melty chocolate in the middle
* The chocolate and pecan cookies: crunchier cookies, a recipe by Pierre Marcolini no less!!
* The ultra-soft pistachio and white chocolate big cookies
* And the terrible (in a good way!) all-chocolate cookies from Martha Stewart!
But I want more…
Well, apparently, that’s not enough anymore!!
Come on mom! Get to work! Sweet tooths don’t wait.
My big American cookies, a well-balanced and easy recipe
So I searched for recipes, ran some tests (mostly because the ones I found were too sweet for my taste), and here they are! The big American cookies!!
The recipe is super simple and quick! No need to chill the dough (which is very convenient when you’re short on time), and the result is really great!
Out of the mouths of babes
Maybe those kids were a little right to push me out of my comfort zone… 😉
My tip for perfect big American cookies
The key here is the baking time. First, prepare two trays lined with a silicone mat or baking paper. Make sure to space your cookies well because they’ll spread… And then stop baking even if they don’t look done. They should still be a bit soft in the center and firmer on the edges once cooled. Depending on the oven, it’ll take between 18 and 20 minutes, no more!
The tools you’ll need:
Your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (the K for Kenwood, for example), though you can do it by hand with a spatula,
2 silicone baking mats (my De Buyer ones are great!),
And an ice cream scoop to shape the cookies.
5–10 minutes of prep and voilà! You’re going to make people very happy!!
Let’s go for the recipe, Chef!
