The Ultimate Double Chocolate Chip Cookie
I tore out the recipe from a magazine for Ghirardelli's Ultimate Double Chocolate Chip Cookies years ago and have never found a better cookie. If you follow the recipe strictly, using the two different Ghirardelli chocolate chips, you will probably agree. It calls for semi-sweet and 60% cacao bittersweet chocolate chips. The two work well together - you can taste the sweetness from the semi-sweet chips and the bittersweet chips' slight bitter yet rich flavor. The crunch from the walnuts rounds out the complete taste experience.
National Chocolate Cookie Day is coming up. These cookies will make your celebration perfect. On a side note: I eat small handfuls of the 60% cacao chips when I'm dieting, and they are just the things to satisfy a sweet tooth without the extra sugar. Get the recipe here.
