Quinn’s Cookie Exchange
Today I’m participating in Quinn’s Cookie Exchange. Quinn is the MC of Angela Felsted’s recently released YA novel, CHASTE.
I am sharing my famous Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe. And yeah, you may have a recipe for chocolate chip cookies, but this one is better. (IMHO) š
softened (not melted)
sugar
white sugar
extract
package semi-sweet chocolate chips (I usually use a lot less).
aside. Cream butter, brown and white
sugar in a large mixer bowl until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and egg; beat well. Gradually add in flour mixture; mix
well. Stir in chocolate chips by
hand. Drop by rounded tablespoons, 2
inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets.
brown (We like them just before they turn brown so they’re super chewy). Drop
the pan of cookies onto the floor (face-up obviously) to make the cookies dense
and chewy. It sometime takes a couple of
tries to get them to drop all the way.
Be sure it’s on a carpeted surface and if you use a baking stone, be
sure to remove the wire holder before you drop it. Move cookies to wire rack to
cool.
Yield: approximately 3 dozen cookies.

Okay, I’m sure you just skimmed the recipe, but I am making a note here that is VERY important. The trick to making these the best cookies ever is DROPPING THEM. Yep. Drop the whole pan on the ground (from about a foot up). If you fail to do this, the cookies will be Meh. So don’t skip it!
And in case you haven’t read the blurb for CHASTE yet, here you go:
When he steps into his physics classon the first day of senior year, Quinn Walker is too exhausted from staying up
all night with his three-month-old nephew to deal with moral dilemmas. As a
devout Mormon who has vowed to wait until marriage for sex, the last thing he
needs is a very hot and very sexy Katarina Jackson as his physics partner.
Regrettably, he has no choice.
Kat feels invisible in her mansion of a home six months after losing her older
brother in a fatal car crash and will do anything to get her parentsā
attention. Since her pastor father has no love for Quinnās āfakeā religion and
her ex-boyfriend refuses to leave her alone, she makes an impulsive bet with
her friends to seduce her holier-than-thou lab partner by Christmas.
