Sometimes even reading the words “chocolate chip cookie” has us reaching for a cold glass of milk.
We know chocolate chip cookies are perfect as they are but for the adventurous, here are some modern twists on this crowdpleasing classic.
Our skillet chocolate chunk cookie bakes on the grill, making the perfect dessert for your next backyard barbecue. Each cookie wedge is soft in the middle, chewy toward the edges, and delicious with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Dress up your next batch of brownies with our chocolate cookie cheesecake brownies. Brownies serve as the “crust” for the creamy cheesecake, which is dotted with crushed Oreo cookies.
If you liked the skillet cookie, you’ll love our chocolate chip cookie pizza.
The chocolate chip cookie “crust” is spread with a chocolate sauce, and topped with crunchy peanuts, sliced bananas and butterscotch topping. Add your favourite candies and treats for some extra fun.
