Cookie experiment

chocolate chip cookies

I have to agree with the Foodie Bride, I didn’t really see what was so exceptional about the chocolate chip cookie recipe that was recently featured in the New York Times. Or maybe I’m just disappointed that after reading all these other blogs about this cookie recipe - they didn’t really shake my solar system.

For the record, normally I would never bake with so much butter and sugar. And that’s probably where this recipe started to derail for me. Super fatty and sugary foods just aren’t a normal part of what we consume, so maybe I was just having a bit of ’sugar shock’. They tasted ridiculously sweet to me. But then again, I’m pregnant and my sense of taste may be moot at this point.

Don’t get me wrong, they’re decent cookies - just not exceptional. Again, I swing more to the savoury flavours than sweet. If you swing to the sweet side, you’d probably enjoy these cookies. For me, they are no candied ginger cookie.
