I have returned to my pre-pandemic behavior of getting a cookbook – or three – on a whim when I pick up books from the library. One of the latest is the Guittard Chocolate Cookbook. This cookbook has been a ton of fun to flip through, but after renewing the book for the maximum three times, I have only made one recipe – the Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies (called the "Original Chocolate Chip Cookies" on their website).
The cookie recipe wasn't the best or the worst that I've ever made. I would have preferred the cookies to be slightly crispier and more buttery, like my King Arthur Flour go-to recipe. A few modifications to the original recipe – I used the convection session on my oven, and as such, reduced the temperature to 350. I baked the cookies for 11 minutes.
One important difference btwn. the online and cookbook recipes – the flour cup measurement is the same (2.5 cups) but the online recipe states that is 382 grams whereas the cookbook recipe states that is 300 grams. That's a pretty big difference! I followed the cookbook recipe.
