Chocolate Chip Cookie:

A chocolate chip cookie is a type of cookie originating in the United States. As its name implies, it is characterized by the inclusion of chocolate chips , but beyond that defining characteristic, there is a great deal of variation within this kind of cookie.

Chocolate chips are small chunks of chocolate. They are often sold in a round, flat-bottomed teardrop shape .They are available in numerous sizes, from large to miniature, but are usually around 1 cm in diameter.

Composition and variants:

Chocolate chip cookies are made with white sugar,brown sugar,flour,eggs and semi-sweet chocolate. Sometimes nuts (such as chopped walnuts) are added to the batter. Regardless of ingredients, the procedure is more or less the same in all recipes.

Common method of Cookie Making:

First, sugar and butter are creamed at high speed, usually with a whisk or a standing mixer. The brown sugar is added, followed by the eggs and then the flour and leavener, usually baking powder. The titular ingredient, chocolate chips, are typically mixed in towards the end of the process, just before the cookies are scooped and positioned on a cookie sheet. Most cookie dough is baked, although some eat the dough as is, or use it as an addition to vanilla ice cream to make "cookie dough ice cream".

One common variant is the chocolate chocolate chip cookie, where the cookie surrounding the chips is also chocolate flavored, through the addition of cocoa or melted chocolate.

The negative chocolate chip cookie is a variation that is a chocolate cookie made with white chocolate chips. It is called "negative" because its appearance resembles the image from a film negative, where the colors are reversed.
