Biscoff Chocolate Chip Cookies

As you may know, chocolate chip cookies are my very favorite dessert of all time. As evidenced by my quest for the most perfect chocolate chip cookie recipe…

Given my more-than-slight obsession with all things CCC, I was incredibly excited to try out this recipe for Biscoff Chocolate Chip Cookies for a couple of reasons. First… Biscoff. That’s enough in itself to be excited over! But also– I’m excited because this recipe comes from the first cookbook of a good friend of mine here in the blogging world: The Biscoff Cookie & Spread Cookbook by Katrina Bahl (In Katrina’s Kitchen).

And let me tell you folks, there doesn’t seem to be a bad recipe in this book. It has literally taken me weeeeeeeeeeks to decide which recipe I wanted to make share with you guys. The Double Chocolate Biscoff Bread, Biscoff Sheet Cake, and Biscoff Cinnamon Rolls were all heavy contenders. And then my husband and I went back and forth over the Biscoff Cloud Cookies and the Biscoff Chocolate Chip Cookies forever– it all looks amazing!

I finally made the executive decision on the chocolate chip cookies, figuring they’re a perfect addition to my Chocolate Chip Cookie Experiment anyway.

It was good decision making on my part. Biscoff and chocolate chip cookies definitely belong together.

With the craziness of the holiday season, I definitely dropped the ball on The Chocolate Chip Cookie Experiment for a few weeks. But you can dry your tears, I’m back to the grind and bringing you another famous chocolate chip cookie recipe today!

Just a reminder– I’m attempting to find 52 different chocolate chips cookie recipes (theoretically, a year’s worth of recipes if I did one per week) and test them all out to find either the best chocolate chip cookie recipe already in existence, OR to use this experience to take the things I learned and loved about each of my favorite recipes and turn them into one super cookie!

Today’s test subject: American’s Testย  Kitchen Chocolate Chip Cookies.

Basically, the unique thing about these cookies is the use of browned butter. Browning the butter creates a deep, toffee-like flavor that I really liked and definitely sets these apart from other CC cookies I’ve tried.

Ritz Cracker Toffee is so easy to make and is always a hit with friends!

Ritz Cracker Toffee is so easy to make and is always a hit with friends!

This stuff is one of my very favorite Christmas treats! It’s completely and utterly addicting, which is why it’s earned the nickname Christmas Crack. Have you tried it?

It’s essentially toffee bathed crackers, slathered in chocolate and almonds. And for those of us who aren’t so great in the candy-making department, it’s an especially great recipes to keep handy, because it’s SO easy! And I think cracker toffee tastes even better than regular toffee. I like the cracker crunch and the extra bit of buttery saltiness.

This gingerbread cookie bark is so easy and so cute! Perfect for Christmas cookie giving and eating. #getyourbettyon

Gingerbread Cookie Bark Recipe

I have to confess something… I’ve never been much of a gingerbread fan. I mean, it’s always been okaaaaaay. But I’ve just never understood why anyone would want to eat gingerbread when there are so many other incredible holiday treats to be had?! Like chocolate pie and peanut butter truffles and peppermint cheesecake!

I always just thought, Gingerbread? What’s the point?

That was until I tried this Gingerbread Cookie Bark. It’s changed everything.

Sorry to have missed a couple of weeks of chocolate chip cookies! Between Thanksgiving and getting sick, I had to put the experiment on the back burner.

But today I’m back with another famous chocolate chip cookie! Is anyone else a Chips Ahoy junkie like me?? Oh man, I can tear my way through a package of Chips Ahoy before I know what’s hit me and not feel a thing. Same thing with Oreos. And those Keebler elf fudge cookie sandwiches.

Seriously. Hashtag cookie probs.

Which means it’s probably not a great thing that I can now make my own Chips Ahoys at home, without even a trip to the store standing between me and a really unflattering cookie demolition.

The Chocolate Chip Cookie Experiment: 5. Bobby Flay Throw-Down Cookies

Last week when I was perusing Food Network’s stockpile of chocolate chip cookie recipes (in search of this Alton Brown recipe), I stumbled upon this killer looking recipe from Bobby Flay.

I’m obsessed with Food Network (uh, and Bobby Flay in general). So I the idea of making these right on the heels of the Alton Brown recipe was too much fun to pass up. In case you’re not familiar with Throwdown! with Bobby Flay, here’s the gist of the show: Bobby picks out chefs who are renowned for a particular recipe, and he challenges them to a compete in a cook-off of their favorite dish (competing against him, of course).

This particular recipe is the one Bobby threw into the ring up against the famous NYC Levain Bakery’s chocolate chip cookie.

Recipe number 4 in the quest for the best ever chocolate chip cookies: Alton Brown's "Thin" Chocolate Chippers. Thin? No. Delicious? Absolutely.

Dear Alton,

I love your guts. Seriously. I do. I could watch you talk food geekery all day long and never tire of your wit and unwavering affection for butter.

And even though I’ve never tried an “Alton” recipe that I didn’t love, I must tell you that I think you may have a couple of problems on your hands. I suspect it’s your food photography team. And also, your recipe titling team.

…do you have a team for that? If you do, you need a better one.

You see… I’m doing this experiment (very scientific of me, don’t you approve?!) with chocolate chip cookie recipes. I’m taking some of the most notable recipes and testing them out, trying to find the best one. The deal I’ve made with myself is that I’ll follow the instructions for each recipe to the absolute letter. If you say sift, I sift. If the butter needs to be softened, I soften. If you say chop a chocolate bar instead of using chocolate chips, that’s what I’ll do. The point is to make each recipe exactly as the recipe creator intended. That way it’s a fair experiment.
