February 8, 2002, Newsletter Issue #50: Chocolate Chip Cookies
Tip of the Week
If you want to make the best chocolate chip cookies your guests have ever tasted, try these tips:
1. Use real butter. Substituting margarine produces a softer dough which will cause your cookies to go
flat.
2. Only buy real vanilla. While it might cost a bit more than imitation, nothing beats its flavor.
3. Melt butter carefully in your microwave at a very low power level. Butter will scorch easily if left unattended at high temperatures.
4. If your brown sugar has hardened into one solid mass, try microwaving that as well. A few seconds is all you`ll need to soften it.
5. For variation, try substituting chocolate chips with peanut butter chips, butterscotch morsels, or crumbled heath bar.
