Chocolate Chip Cookies
14 Jun
Well – this certainly is exciting news! Guess who chose our recipe for this weeks Sweet Melissa Sundays?
If you guessed Melissa Murphy, you are CORRECT!
She chose her most popular recipe from the bakery – Chocolate Chip Cookies with Toasted Almonds.
I almost didn’t make these, I was going to take the week off – but I was having an in-depth conversation with Sabrina and just mindlessly started putting the dough together. Thank goodness it wasn’t a complicated recipe, or who knows what I would have ended up with!
I did make just one change to the recipe – most noticeably the lack of almonds. I’m sure they are delicious, but……….. not in this house.
Instead of going the slice-and-bake route, I used my mini-size cookie scoop and dished the dough out onto a baking sheet, while we finished our conversation. It was getting late – so I left the dough overnight, and baked the cookies the next morning.
I was lucky enough to get one as I ran out the door with T-Rex, who was on her way back to the vets’ office. If I was really thinking ahead, I would have taken some of the cookies with me – but I only made 1/4 of the recipe, which yielded 12 mini cookies – and after the kids mowed through them, I think there were 2 left.
Like I said – if I was thinking ahead – which I wasn’t.
In my opinion, you can never have enough good chocolate chip cookie recipes in your arsenal, so visit the SMS website to get a copy of the recipe for these. They are well worth the time!
Coming up next week: Butterscotch Cashew Bars.
Yum! I realize you left it out because of allergies, but I love the almonds. I made the NYT recipe once and put almonds in because I also used a cut up Hershey’s choc/almond bar. SO good. I’m glad you all got to enjoy a little treat with these!
I am sure they were terrific without the nuts as well. It is just such a delicious cookie – and yours look beautiful!
I didn’t slice-n-bake, either… and I’m glad!
I loved the way these turned out – glad you made them!
I made half of mine without nuts too! Yours look so good going the scoop route instead of slice-and-bake! Glad you were able to give these a shot – I really loved them!
They look great! Glad you got to grab one before they were gone
The minis are adorable, it looks like scooping worked well! Glad you found the time to make them this week.
I scooped too! I made them with & w/o nuts.
Your cookies look great!
It’s funny, but every time there is a recipe with nuts in it, I think of you and your family. I almost skipped the slice and bake, too but just went with it at the last minute. Those little cookies look terrific.
Your cookies turned out great. I contemplated using a scoop but decided to try the slice-and-bake method as I had never done that before.
Your cookies look amazing!
Your cookies look delicious!
Hi Megan!
So glad you decided to give this recipe a go and bake this week. Your mini cookies came out adorable. I’m sorry to hear that your puppy hasn’t been feeling well. My Bella (a 2-year old Cavachon) is the light and love of my life, and when she gets sick, it just breaks my heart- I know how stressful those vet visits can be too… I hope T-Rex is on the mend soon. I’m sending her some get well wishes.
Thanks for stopping by my site, and I hope to talk to you again after next weekend’s recipe!

I didn’t do the slice & bake method either, I scooped em, too. Yours look so nice and thick and puffy!
Oh, these look so good!
Yours look so perfect! I’ll have to try the cookie scoop next time.
I think I would probably have eaten even more of these if I’d make mini cookies! Mini desserts seem like a good idea, but not if you’re like me and eat 4 times as many of them!
You can never go wrong with a chocolate chip cookie and I like them better without the nuts : )
Your cookies look great!
You really can’t have too many chocolate chip cookie recipes. I always think I have found “the one” and then I get tempted by another.
Yum, I like how chunky your cookies look!

Your cookies look great, wish mine were that chunky, glad you joined us.
