A few weeks ago, I asked other Verizon Wireless Savvy Gourmets to try my chocolate chip cookie recipe and see how we get some variations. A few of them have tried out some really interesting versions!
I made mine with bacon, and put Jeni’s Spendid Ice Creams Salty Caramel in between 2 of them!
First, here’s the recipe:

Great chocolate chip cookies of gargantuan size that your friends will think are bakery-made.
Ingredients
- 1 cup ap flour
- 1 cup bread flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 1/2 cup Turbinado sugar ( or light brown)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract or paste
- 1 egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 cups dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (for pure convection, adjust accordingly; I used 310 F on convection). Grease cookie sheets, or line them with parchment paper or use a Silpat (which is what I did).
- Sift the flour, salt and baking soda and set aside.
- Mix the sugars and butter just until thoroughly mixed, then add egg, yolk and vanilla and mix until creamy. Add the sifted ingredients and mix until just blended.
- Stir in the chocolate chips/chunks, then drop dough 1/4 cup at a time on a cookie sheet, about 3 inches apart, and bake for 15-17 minutes. Leave them on the cookie sheet to cool a bit when removed from the oven (this is important… they fall apart if you move them too quickly). Once they cool a few minutes, remove the cookies to a cooling rack to finish cooling. Or eat them right away, with milk!

I have no idea what pig candy is, but I say apple pie. I can’t wait to try your cookies!

Paula,
http://livefireonline.com/2011/12/19/pig-candy-v2-0/ is where you can see pig candy 2.0. It’s great stuff, but apple pie is tough to beat, too!

I’d go with the salted caramel variation, love that stuff.

Chris,
Salted caramel is good with just about anything. I am thinking of doing a pig candy with salted caramel.
