			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.hottie-biscotti.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/puddingcookie1.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-3996" title="puddingcookie1" src="http://www.hottie-biscotti.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/puddingcookie1.jpg" alt="" width="284" height="286" /></a>In college a friend gave me a recipe for chocolate chip cookies that uses pudding mix in the dough resulting in an extra soft and tasty cookie.  Of course I lost the recipe in one of the 4 moves I&#8217;ve made across Texas in the last 5 years.  I came across this recipe this past weekend and decided to see if they were like Ashley&#8217;s.</p>
<p>I found the recipe on Kraft foods website. <a href="http://www.kraftrecipes.com/recipes/pudding-chocolate-chunk-cookies-51493.aspx?pf=true" target="_blank"> Here is the link.</a></p>
<p>They were not quite the same, but they were good.  I used some high quality milk and white chocolate in these cookies which made them extra special.  Good chocolate really does make a difference.  Chopping off a block of chocolate instead of using chips also makes a difference in the texture of the chocolate in the finished cookie.</p>
<p>I used half butter and half shortening in these, which makes the cookies more sturdy and causes them to spread less, but I will use all butter next time.  Some cookies can take the half shortening short cut without much of a sacrifice of flavor&#8230;.but not this cookie.  For some reason they tasted too fake to me and too much like a grocery store cookie instead of a homemade one.</p>
<p>All of that negativity doesn&#8217;t make these cookies at all un-tasty.  I really liked how soft and chewy they were and absolutely loved the white and milk chocolate chunks.  Crazy good.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The success of the <a href="http://www.hottie-biscotti.com/blog/?p=1708" target="_self">peanut butter M&amp;M cookie</a> last week inspired me to try the cookie again, but this time with chocolate chips.  I changed the amount of sugars in this cookie.  I wish I could claim that I was being purposefully experimental and had some great reason for changing the ratio of white to brown sugar.  The truth is that I didn&#8217;t have enough brown sugar left.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1750" title="chocchip2" src="http://www.hottie-biscotti.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/chocchip2.jpg" alt="chocchip2" width="550" height="277" /></p>
<p>So I used 3/4 cup brown sugar and 3/4 cup white sugar.  All the rest of the ingredients remained the same.  I used 1 cup of milk chocolate chips and 1 cup chopped 60% cacao Callebaut from a block that I had left over from another recipe.</p>
<p>I think this cookie may be my new favorite.  I love the texture and flavor.  Even with the change in the sugar ratio they were delicious.  I did find them a bit less moist than the cookie with more brown sugar, but not enough to make them less tasty.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center;">Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies</h2>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1749" title="chocchip3" src="http://www.hottie-biscotti.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/chocchip3.jpg" alt="chocchip3" width="350" height="271" /></p>
<h4 style="margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; font-size: 1.4em;">Ingredients</h4>
<ul style="margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px;">
<li>2 sticks unsalted butter</li>
<li>2 1/4 cups bread flour</li>
<li>1 teaspoon kosher salt</li>
<li>1 teaspoon baking soda</li>
<li>3/4 cup sugar</li>
<li>3/4 cups brown sugar</li>
<li>1 egg</li>
<li>1 egg yolk</li>
<li>2 tablespoons milk</li>
<li>1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract</li>
<li>1 cup milk chocolate chips</li>
<li>1 cup chopped dark chocolate</li>
</ul>
<h4 style="margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; font-size: 1.4em;">Directions</h4>
<ol style="margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px;">
<li>Heat oven to 375 degrees F.</li>
<li>Melt the butter in a heavy-bottom medium saucepan over low heat. Sift together the flour, salt, and baking soda and set aside.</li>
<li>Pour the melted butter in the mixer’s work bowl. Add the sugar and brown sugar. Cream the butter and sugars on medium speed. Add the egg, yolk, 2 tablespoons milk and vanilla extract and mix until well combined. Slowly incorporate the flour mixture until thoroughly combined. Stir in the chocolate and chips.</li>
<li>Chill the dough for at least an hour, then scoop onto parchment-lined baking sheets, 6 cookies per sheet. Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown. Rotate the baking sheet halfway through for even browning. Cool completely and store in an airtight container.</li>
