I would argue that baking homemade chocolate chip cookies and treating yourself to one (or two) is actually VERY healthy! When I deny myself stuff like this - under the guise of "being healthy" and "not eating bad food", it just makes me want it more! And yeah, those logs of processed cookie dough are probably action-packed with all KINDS of freaky stuff - e.Coli or not. Better to make it yourself and then share them with friends and coworkers. Makes me crave a glass of milk just thinking about them!

I love to eat the cookie dough before I bake them (blush)... however, with your recipe maybe not cause of the eggs (salmonella, etc)...
I have experimented with egg substitutes (like ground flax) and they work great!

You need some milk with those cookies!

Hi Amee,

For those who can resist having a big thing of cookies on hand at once, your cousin's trick definitely works and is a great tip!

P.S. Thanks for the compliment!

My cousin taught me to store cookies in a airtight container with a piece of bread in it, bread gets hard, cookies don't..great blog!

Eek, I wrote a comment and it flew into cyberspace. Just want you to know, I love chewy cookies and plan to try your "trick" to make them chewy. Thanks.

I just discovered your blog and love it! And yes, it's worth repeating: absence of bacteria = extremely healthy, so you're really doing your body a favor by eating them. =)

always looking for that elusive perfect cookie recipe - thanks for the tip, I will try that. I have tried using an egg substitute for my PITA allergic son (the allergy, not the child, although their are moments...) but the cookies just are not as good. I now just give him a handful of chocolate chips while the rest of us eat the cookies and he is just as happy.

2009-06-22T11:12:19.888-04:00

I prefer crunchy chocolate chip/ oatmeal/ etc. cookies - probably explained by the fact that I have never been able to bake up a chewy batch - but my wife is always asking me to make my batches chewier.

I told her the only way to do that would be to use Crisco instead of butter and that I was going to do no such thing.

I am going to surprise her by using this recipe later on this week. If the counter-slapping technique works, she'll be eternally grateful.

P.S. Marina is right. With cookies I usually mix by hand, and when I do they come out chewier - but I wouldn't necessarily say chewy.

2009-06-22T10:25:39.430-04:00

The cookies look so tasty! I love chewy cookies. I'm a big fan of all things in moderation... except that I have a problem with having only a few cookies. I like the idea to freeze the dough and save some for later. Great tip!

2009-06-22T08:52:55.574-04:00

The other way to guarantee chewiness is to a) mix by hand (less air = more chewy) and b) substitute a few TB of corn syrup for same amount of the white sugar.

Miss you guys!
