A dessert that was created to serve with ice cream has now become a popular party trick in house gatherings and family feasts. The recipe is as easy as it looks but it is enough for everyone to make their version out of it, it varies from gooey to crispy, soft to chewy. This is our take on the famous chocolate chip cookie recipe. Tips:
- A common mistake to avoid is overmixing the flour, otherwise, it may roughen the gluten in the flour which could cause cakier instead of chewy cookies.
- To achieve richer flavor and color, let the dough chill overnight for a more complex flavor.
