125 Best Chocolate Chip Recipes [Paperback]

Julie Hasson (Author)

Book Description

Series: 125 Best | Publication Date: September 6, 2003

All resistance is futile.

Nestle(tm) first invented chocolate morsels (the first chocolate chip) in 1939, after discovering the first chocolate chip cookie recipe which was created at the Toll House Inn in Massachusetts by Ruth Wakefield. With a deal for the rights to the recipe The Famous Toll House Cookie was born.

You will be amazed by all of the delicious opportunities the chocolate chip delivers. Chocolate chips are specially formulated to retain their taste in any recipe and give off bursts of intense flavor during the cooking process.

125 Best Chocolate Chip Recipes features superb, imaginative and fail-safe recipes for cookies, cakes, pies, breads, puddings, bars and squares, muffins, hot and cold beverages and extraordinary sauces. For hot summer days, imagine a Blended Mocha Frappe or Chocolate Malted Moothie. For cold winter nights, there is a Hot Chocolate Chai Latte. Start the day right with Chocolate Chip Oat Breakfast Biscuits, Chocolate Chip Hotcakes or Chocolate Orange French Toast for a weekend brunch. Children will adore the Chocolate Mousse Filled Cupcakes, Chocolate Dipped Pretzels and Chocolate Chip Cherry Bars. Adults will swoon over the Chocolate Espresso Lava Cake that was featured on the Today Show. If you find yourself with a bumper crop of zucchini, be sure to make Double Chocolate Zucchini Cake.

Cookie recipes include The Quintessential Chocolate Chip Cookie, Double Chocolate Mint Chunkers and Chocolate Dipped Coconut Macaroons. These recipes are so good that the cookies will never make it to a cookie jar.

This review is from: 125 Best Chocolate Chip Recipes (Paperback)

Clearly, this is a well-written book: The recipes are easy to follow, the book is well laid-out with just 1 recipe to a page, the recipe titles are descriptive, and I can't find a bad recipe! In fact, I've written to the author for her recommendations on a 12-step chocolatechipaholic program in my neighborhood!

Some of my family & friends' favorites are Port Tort, the Chocolate Chip Chai Cake, the Cowgirl Cookies, Jay's Addiction, and her Coconut Chip Sorbet.

Julie Hasson's chocolate chip recipes are truly wonderful. Very easy-to-follow directions guide you to gloriously tasty results! I have not been disappointed in any of the recipes I've tried. On the contrary, once I've tried one, it becomes a "regular." Thanks, Julie!
