You've followed directions to the letter, making sure everything was weighed and measured. Making sure that all ingredients were added, and mixed to perfection. The timer responsible for counting down the minutes to your sweet debut has finally gone off, and you've never been more ready. That sweet aroma coming from the kitchen caresses your senses, you cannot help but to inhale deeper. The smell is so sweet, you can almost taste the melted chocolate on your salivating tongue. Today you do not believe in diets, scales, and size 2 jeans. Your only obsession is this perfectly formed chocolate chip cookie.
Baking the perfect chocolate chip cookie rests not only on mixing the ingredients together flawlessly, but making sure your baking time is impeccable. The secret to perfectly soft and chewy cookies is oven time. You should not leave cookies in the oven for more than 15 minutes, the ideal cooking time would be 10-15 mins.
Most people don't realize that anything you take out of the oven continues cooking for a few minutes with what I like to call "leftover heat". Your cookies will still be cooking with the leftover heat from the oven once you take them out to cool.Therefore, you do not want to overcook them and end up with hard cookies!
