Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

So, made these cookies and had the same experience as some other reviewers. The cookies spread out really far and were flat and kinda crunchy. We only cooked them for about 8 minutes on the second batch and they still lacked the correct thickness that you would expect from good chewy cookies. Okay, here's some ideas on how to fix this recipe. We tried this in our kitchen and it seemed to make a huge improvement: 1. CREAM THE BUTTER, EGGS, VANILLA, AND SUGAR!! This is basic good recipe technique and should never have been missed. 2. Add an additional 3/4 cup of flour to the recipe for a total of 3 cups of flour. If the first batch is still too flat for you, add a couple more tablespoons and try again. 3. Add about 2 Tbsp of instant coffee powder to the cookies. This brings out the chocolate flavor, but doesn't make these mocha cookies. This is an Ina Garten secret. 4. For an additional twist, consider using almond extract or mint extract in place of the vanilla. These adjustments should make your cookies much better than this recipe creates. So, to sum up, this recipe needs serious tweaking, but has major flavor potential. Happy Baking!! -Jess & Ashly
