Marko's Unbelievably Good Chocolate Chunk Cookie

This cookie is exactly as described. Wow!! What a difference a Ghiardelli chocolate can make. This was a very easy, user friendly recipe to make. It's a basic chocolate chip cookie with a little extra pizazz. The only snafu I came across was a room temperature egg and chilling my dough for an hour. Once all of that was done it was as easy as one, two, three. The recipe called for a three inch cookie to make 22 in a batch. I opted for a smaller cookie so I could have more to share. I used my small melon baller and produced about forty cookies. I have to say I am loving all of this baking and sharing with my friends. My family feels like they have hit the cookie jackpot. Who else gets fresh cookies delivered daily to their house. The boys look so forward to the deliveries. I wasn't sure how they would be with this since they have had most of the cookies on my moms side of the book. I think they usually have so many choices when she bakes they always go for their favorites and don't try much else. Now they have the opportunity to try them all and they love it. We are going to have to do an exercise blog when this is all done though because I can already feel the cookies settling in. Danielle G.

  1. By far the best chocolate chip cookies ever! The Ghiardelli makes a huge difference. Also, love the bite size as it is more figure friendly! After this is done I will need a personal trainer and a good dermatologist (I love chocolate but it is not my friend)! LOL

  2. Danielle great idea on the size of the cookie. I thought the Ghiardelli chocolate chips added a lot to the flavor and they didn't melt as much. Great job! You're pictures are getting better and better. L, Mom

  3. Wow, 1 gone before she even got in her car, 2nd with a glass of milk before she got to Whitby Way and the 3rd I'm sure was gone before she turned on to 24 mile road. Which means when Jack asked who had baked and what kind of cookie it was I had to tell him the boys finished them off. He was sad. He looks forward to the surprise cookie each day. They where delicious. Diet tomorrow, I think.. Angie

  4. You're making me hungry thinking about that Ghiradelli chocolate - can't go wrong with that! I also go for the smaller cookie idea. That way you can eat more and not feel so guilty. Theresa G.
