I hate to admit it, but most chocolate chip cookies disappoint me. For a long time, I’ve resisted going against the tide, but I finally have to admit that most bakeries and recipes are wrong about chocolate chip cookies (CCCs).
Almost every recipe I read for CCCs raves about how loaded with chocolate these guys are and how delicious the sponsored chocolate is.
I truly love chocolate, but it becomes too much when I get more chocolate than cookie in a bite. I find it insulting both to the cookie and the chocolate. If I am going to fill my mouth with chocolate, I want give it its full due. I don’t need hints of distracting cookie interrupting. Also, if you put any care into the dough, the cookie itself is delicious! I just made brown butter CCC cookies and the dough (and baked dough) itself is divine. It shone enough on its own, but was complimented beautifully by about half of the recommended amount of chocolate chips. I still get at least a chip in each bite with half the suggested chips. And I can taste the cookie.
This is not a problem limited to one recipe. This twisted way of thinking has a stranglehold on the baking industry. I must be in the minority, but I feel like I must speak out about this vital, pervasive issue.

Listen, I can’t agree with you, but I can understand the need for balance lol – exactly why I prefer mini m&m’s
you can never have to much chocolate.the chocolate god shall not forgive you
I have often thought CCC would be better without the chocolate
Never though I’d see the day where someone complains about this
Take my upvote
Well, it’s unpopular and actually a reasonable opinion. Take my upvote and my little trophy 🏆
I actually agree with this. I love chocolate, but I think it complements the cookie so much more when you use it in moderation.
I actually hate buying pre-made chocolate chip cookies because there aren’t enough chocolate chips.
Tell me where you are getting these overloaded chocolate chip cookies. I must try them.
I agree. But then you can have too few, ie when they apply the chocolate chips individually with a pea shooter. I like making my own, so I get a Goldilocks Chocolate Chip biscuit. Juuuuust right.
Seriously!! I always end up taking out as much chocolate chips out of the cookie it’s so hard to find the perfect balance cookies! 🍪
no they don’t
