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!

YUM!
I thought that the raw flour could have nasty stuff like e.coli in it and that is why you shouldn’t eat raw dough… (of course i still do.)
They came out great. Really yummy, thanks Ann!
The recipe was very easy to follow. The cookies are without the pretzels.
I really love your videos and your recipes but i am a vegetarian (cannot have eggs too) so i just try to make recipes that i can make . I really appreciate the effort you put into the videos (in short i just love your videos and recipes .??
Hi Ann, my cookie batter turned out more crumbly and couldnt form a ball. After I baked it, the butter separated from the cookie leaving a greasy cookie, and the cookies became flat. The flavour was really good, but mine does not look nearly as good as yours š could you please help
Hi,
I tried to make these cookies today, however, they turned out quite sandy before, and after baking.
Any idea what I had done wrong?
Hi Ann (or helper)!
Does this cookie taste of coconut? If it does, could I leave it out or substitute?
Thanks!
Hi Rachel, it is not really a coconut flavour. It gives more of a texture. You could leave it out if preferred.
Thank you š
