Chocolate Chip Cookies

What’s your favorite cookie recipe?

At The Frog & PenguINN – holidays or not – it’s the chocolate chip cookie, a drop cookie created in the U.S. and featuring semi-sweet chocolate chips. Other ingredients include white and brown sugars, flour, salt, eggs, baking powder, butter or shortening; vanilla extract; and (if you prefer) chopped nuts. Depending on the ratio of ingredients, mixing and cooking times, some recipes produce a softer, chewy style cookie and others produce a crunchy/crispy style – either way they’re still delicious.
