Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe
There aren’t many guarantees in life but here’s one … if you use my secret recipe for chocolate chip cookies, you’ll need to hide them or they’ll all be gone before the day is out. Rich, chewy, chocolatey, with a delicious pretzel crunch, they are best served warm with a glass of cold milk. After experimenting with many choc-chip cookie recipes (which all seemed strangely similar to each other), I decided to create my own version that’s completely different. As a bonus it’s an egg-free cookie recipe, so you can also nibble the uncooked dough or use it in cookie dough ice-cream.
A couple of years ago while visiting New York, I tasted a cookie with pretzels in it, they gave the crunch you’d normally get from adding nuts but a slightly different flavor. So when I started experimenting with choc-chip cookies (or biscuits as we call them in Australia), I used these savory snacks to balance the sweetness of the chocolate chunks.
They turned out a treat. So go on, get baking and share the love, but be prepared for them to go fast!

Hi Ann Reardon I watched your video many, many times! I really want to try making it. It looked so good!
I forgot to tell you that I will make this recipe when I come back from Korea.
I just made them, they are delicious!
I used a half cup of butter and 3T of corn syrup. I did Nestle’s dark chocolate chips since they come in a large size. These cookies are yummy! Here’s my picture:
Ann, I would also like to know if you have any baby shower ideas. Thanks!
I created these Cookies for my friend and she loved them. your an amazing cook. would you be able to do a baby shower cake decorating video on your channel?
Keep up with the awesome recipies.
Made these and they turned out great! (: Didn’t have corn syrup or glucose syrup so made my own corn syrup using sugar and water and used it ^^ Also added in a few tablespoons of milk as the batter was a tad bit dry in my opinion. Thanks for the great recipe!
very creative, well done Gwen
Hi Ann,

Hi Anne I’m allergiced to coconuts… What should I use I am a young chef (11) Me and my big brother can’t have coconut. Can someone help me?????

Hi Ann! My family and I aren’t a big fan of pretzels, and I was just wondering if I could leave them out? Would it change the texture or taste? I hope I get a reply.
Hi ann , I can’t find many pretzels at where I live , should I leave it out or what else should I use to replace it ??? Plz , I have to make these cookies !!
Hey Ann,
I want to try these, but I can’t get hold of neither glucose syrup or corn syrup or any other syrup except honey. Is there any possible substitute?
Hi! You can use golden syrup too! She once answered a viewer who had the same question! 🙂
