Chocolate Chip Christmas Cookies
I set out to make fabulous Chocolate Chip cookies to gift my favorite coworkers and took the time to bag them up in festive wrappers. I watched a gazillion videos and found
one very helpful baker, Anna Olson, who gave tips that make the difference. Creaming the butter against the bowl with a spatula rather than a mixer, is not only best to combine the sugar but serves as a therapeutic exercise. And a big one, adding a tablespoon of cornstarch, which I'd never heard of. Finally, shaping the cookies in uniform balls beforehand and chilling so that they all spread evenly. These things changed my cookie game and I am related to the *Cookie Queen, so I need to represent!
