Decadent Chocolate Chip Cookies

"If you want to have ready-to-bake cookies, you can drop teaspoonfuls of cookie dough onto a baking sheet covered with wax paper or parchment paper and place in the freezer until the dough is firm. Then, place frozen cookie dough in a plastic bag and keep frozen until ready to bake. Drop oven temperature to 350 degrees when baking, and expect the cookies to take a little longer to bake than normal."

  • Add the corn syrup, water and vanilla extract, mix well.
  • Gradually blend in the flour mixture to the creamed mixture and mix well.
  • Stir in the chocolate chips; make sure they are evenly distributed.
  • Drop by teaspoonfuls onto an ungreased cookie sheet, about 1 inch apart and bake until the cookies are slightly underdone, between 10-12 minutes (maybe longer, depending on your oven's calibration).

  1. I like the flavour, but I found that 15 minutes in the oven was too long. The cookies came out too crispy. Shave off a few minutes and they are softer. Very delicious though. Thank you.
     
  2. Delicious cookies! I'm always looking for new chocolate chip cookie recipes to try and these are definitely decadent, as the name suggests. They're so good!
     
  3. The chocolate chip cookies they are really good and my brother and sister like the cookies really much.
     
  4. I thought I lost this recipe a few years ago when my computer crashed. I'm so glad I found it! I always get compliments on them. During Christmas, I add one teaspoon peppermint extract and crushed candy canes! Mmmmmm.
     
  5. very good, baking took about 10 minutes in my oven, and came off the baking sheet fine when i waited a couple of minutes for them to harden after coming out of the oven. they didn't spread much but for me, that just meant i could fit more on the sheet and do less batches..you could always flatten them with a fork after spooning on the batter if you want. i think 3 cups of chips would be way too many, i put just under 2 cups and even that is borderline...from now on i'll use 1.5 cups

  1. I used another user's suggestion and substituted milk for the water. I didn't have any corn syrup so I left it out, but the cookies came out great!! Simple, basic, and good. Just what I was looking for.
     
  2. Wow, these are the best chocolate chip cookies I've ever had. Didn't have corn syrup so I used vegetable oil instead. FANTASTIC!
     
  3. Great cookie! Didn't have corn syrup so omitted it and used 3T milk instead of 3T of water. Turned out great. I thought 15 min would be too long, but they came out perfect every single time. My kids thank you!
