How to Make a "Wavy" Cookie.

I mentioned on Thursday that my bf Kyle is starting a food business that I will explain all in due time. Well, for this we have been making a ton of cookies. Today I want to share a method we found on how to make that perfect wavy chocolate chip cookie!


We had read somewhere about a "tear and pile" method. What you do is you get your cookie dough (we freeze ours for an hour after we made the dough) and round it into a perfect circle. THEN, rip it apart in the middle and stack the two sides with the still rounded parts in the middle. Here is an awful photo: (I tend to forget that I blog so everytime I have an "Oh! I can blog this!" moment I never have my nice camera on me)


Now, another interesting and I think easier way to accomplish this is by using a cookie scooper. Did you know these existed? I did not. Anyways, if you use a cookie cookie, but leave some cookie dough on the top, when you take it out of the scooper it will have a nice rounded circular bottom which makes it so it cooks round, but has the wavy top! (the arrow is pointing to the result of a scooper bottom!)


End Results:


Look at how beautiful they are!

Recipe:

3/4 cup white sugar
cup brown sugar
cup butter, softenedtablespoon vanilla
large eggs, slightly beaten <----we beat them in a bowl before mixing them in, we think this was a great idea!!
cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
  • cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions:
1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  1. 2
    Cream sugars and butter.
  2. 3
    Add vanilla and eggs and mix well.
  3. 4
    Combine dry ingredients together and gradually add to creamed mixture.
  4. 5
    Stir in chips and nuts.
  5. 6
    Roll into 1 1/4" balls and place on non-stick cookie sheets, about 2" apart.
  6. 7
    Bake for 10 to 12 minutes.
Now, we cooked them at 350 degrees for 18 minutes because we had two trays of cookies in the oven. 
We also made bigger cookies so ours were two ounces.
