      I have. But I attribute that to me, not the recipe. I need to try it again to be certain.

      On a semi-related note, I love gingersnaps; they are probably my favorite cookie. However, I haven't made the famous recipe in this thread because I love my mom's recipe so much. I legitimately don't believe that the recipe could be as good as my mom's recipe, let alone demonstrably better, but I suppose I should try it to be sure. At least that way I can prove that I'm not avoiding the recipe because I think it might be better. I guess that's my "A bible, a bible, we have a bible" non-contribution to this thread.

          This ginger throwdown could be as epic as a Bobby Flay and Danny Bonaduce cage match.

              We have made the gingersnap recipe from this thread twice. They are amazing. My wife said she wanted to make them tonight, but I told her not to because I don't feel like eating 34 cookies later today. I have no self control with those cookies.

                I tried an America's Test Kitchen chocolate chip cookie recipe with the kids this weekend. I used a cookbook (cook-magazine?) we have, but it looks like the recipe is copied here:

                What can be more satisfying than finding what you were seeking for years? The perfect chocolate chip cookie can be elusive, despite its simplicity and iconic status. I found that the traditional To…


                I used milk chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet. The cookies had a bit of a crunch around the edges without being hard or brittle, and the centers were chewy but not mushy or bready/cakey. Here's a quick cell-phone pic:

                  So.... you liked it, or what?
                  Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

                    This is a thread for favorite cookie recipes, right?

                    Some posts in that food pet peeves thread gave me an idea (I happen to be hungry at the moment). Let's share our favorite cookie recipes. I'll go first. The following is an old family recipe and is my all-time favorite. They are very good cold, but are simply divine directly from the oven with a glass of milk. Ginger Snaps

                      The first dozen ginger snaps are out of the oven and cooling:

                      They smell great.

                      EDIT: These taste fantastic. I was sure to keep the dough balls small, and I baked them for ten minutes in a non-convection oven with a one-minute sit on the sheet afterwards before moving to the cooling rack.

                        Those look perfect. Way to go.

                          I forgot to post this, but seeing this thread bumped reminded me. I went home and looked at the recipe after this and compared it to JL's. The recipes are virtually identical, with two exceptions:

                          1) my mom's recipe includes 1/2 tsp nutmeg

                          2) JL's recipe uses butter and shortening, while my mom's recipe uses all shortening--half plain shortening and half butter flavor shortening.

                              I need to make all the chocolate chip cookies in this thread. I had a go-to for a long time, but I haven't been feeling it lately. Maybe I'll find one I really like. One thing is for sure, I won't be going half butter/half margarine like LA Ute once suggested. :crazy:

                              When I do make a chocolate chip cookie these days, I end up making the oatmeal one someone posted - chrisenrut? - but I take Surfah's mom's method of grinding the oats first. Those are super tasty cookies.
