Pillsbury Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

[viscousmemories]

You can get it in a five pound jug at Costco or Sam's Club. Then you can put it in your fridge and make fresh chocolate chip cookies every night for a month or longer, depending. At the rate I'm going, it looks like we may max out at 3 weeks. :popcorn:

This is the way to go with the Pillsbury ready-made dough. It's always much better than the cooked version. I am very, very picky about my chocolate-chip cookies.

The best chocolate-chip cookie recipe I've found, courtesy of Pain Paien at II:

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 large egg

1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 generous cup all-purpose flour

Bake as directed by the recipe on the back of the Nestle Morsels bag.

Well, I'm no expert or anything, but I was thinking I'd modify that recipe just a little by... oh, say...

putting some CHOCOLATE CHIPS in it!

SCHPLA-DOWWW!

Oh Christ. I can't find a suitably embarrassed smiley.

Yeah, chocolate chips would be good.

Oh Christ. I can't find a suitably embarrassed smiley.

Yeah, chocolate chips would be good. What's the reccomended chocolate chip dosage for that recipie?

[livius drusus]

What's the reccomended chocolate chip dosage for that recipie?
And can they be white? Or possibly butterscotch?

[Penni]

And can they be white? Or possibly butterscotch?
mmmmm, or caramel...or all of the above?

And yea, this shall be my debut post after my long, arduous, dusty vacation.

About two-thirds to three-quarters of the bag of chocolate morsels will do. Eyeball it. There should be a little more dough than morsels, but it's up to you. Just shake those suckers on in there until it looks right.

And yes, white chocolate chips and butterscotch chips would be just as delicious. If you go in for that sort of thing.

I just want to note that I haven't purchased Pillsbury dough since this last time, but have been making dough from scratch. The recipe on the bag of Kroger chocolate chips is almost identical to Rev's suggestion above, and it's very good. It's a little disconcerting to actually see all the butter and sugar that's going into them, though. :scared:

[seebs]

I actually rather like the pillsbury cookies, but you must eat them before they cool.

[viscousmemories]

Yeah but no sense adding insult to injury by compounding the innate unheathiness with a bunch of chemical preservatives and such. :yuck:

or big ol' dark chocolate chunks. :homdrool:

I always feel better about seeing how much butter and sugar and flour and eggs go into rich desserts--I feel that I know that "real" food is going into making them. There are no preservatives. Also, I tend to actually eat less of whatever it is, if I've made it myself--because there's a limited supply, and also they're usually better tasting.

Plus, if you commit yourself to eating only homemade treats, you'll eat fewer of them (usually) because you're not always going to want to make cookies or whatever it is. Well, this doesn't work for me and cakes, because I can always make a cake. Or biscuits--which do take a lot of butter, too.
