By the time I got around to choosing all of the recipes for this challenge, apparently TikTok had decided chocolate chip cookies were just going to be part of my personality for a while. Because that’s where I stumbled across yet another chocolate chip cookie rabbit hole. This time it wasn’t actually a cookie video…
If you’ve been following along with my chocolate chip cookie challenge, you know one of the recipes made the list because its creator very confidently declared that her chocolate chip cookies were the best. Naturally, people had opinions about that. One of those people was Mystic in the Kitchen. She showed up in the comments insisting…
Sometimes you have to give a cookie another chance. Even when you’re pretty sure you don’t like it. This is one of those cookies. The recipe comes from Sugar Spun Run, and I actually have a little history with it because I’ve already made it seven times. Yes. Seven. And now I’ve made it an…
There’s just something about a chocolate chip cookie. I think most of us have a memory tied to them—coming home from school and smelling cookies baking, sneaking one off the cooling rack, or watching somebody in your family make a batch from scratch.

Then I bought Chewy…
If you ask my family for a chocolate chip cookie, there is a pretty good chance someone is going to ask, “Are you making Memaw Cookies?” Because in our family, they aren’t really called chocolate chip cookies anymore. They’re just Memaw Cookies. My mother-in-law’s name is Margaret, but honestly, I had to stop and think…
Okay. I’m just going to admit it. I cheated. I’m doing a chocolate chip cookie challenge. Eight different cookies. Same basic setup. Same pans. Same parchment paper. Same oven. Blind taste test. Nobody gets to know which recipe is which. And one of the contestants came from a tube. Yep. Pillsbury Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough….
I have a problem. I really like chocolate chip cookies. Actually, that’s probably putting it mildly. Chocolate chip cookies are my favorite cookie. For years, I was convinced I had already found my favorite. In 2024, I was coming home from Niagara Falls and stopped in Santa Claus, Indiana. I had a chocolate chip cookie…
If there is one thing you will learn quickly once you start sourdough, it’s this: Everybody has an opinion. Actually… everybody has lots of opinions. You’ll find people saying you absolutely NEED expensive equipment, people saying your dough should look a certain way, people insisting there is only one “right” method, and at least one…
