Where to buy choc-chip cookies in Germany

does anyone have a recipe for those big, soft, yummy cookies you can buy at in-store bakeries like Tesco??? Or has anyone found them in shops here?? I know you can buy similar ones at IMAX (they also sell Snapple there!!), but they're not soft like Tescos

Brown Sugar for Baking Cookies

Try these courtesy of Amimeli. I made a batch the other week and they seemed to go down well.

thanx but i'm not looking for Oat Cookies. I just want normal choc chip, but they have to be SOFT!!!

...and chewy!!!

Although I haven't tried it myself, I was told by a soft cookie-making friend that the trick to getting soft chocolate chip cookies is to let the cookies cool until they're just slightly warm, and put them in a closed container with a piece of bread. The bread gets really hard and the cookies stay soft.
I'm planning on trying this soon... usually mine are yummy but hard as a rock.

Coincidentally just got this recipe for "Soft and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies".

I haven't tried it out as I haven't had time to chase down the brown sugar and the Natron but I think the orignial source was martha stewart.com so it should be good...www.tollhouse.com also offers great cookie recipes...though sorry the measurement in both places are US...

Also info below on freezing the dough in case your not up for eating all the cookies at once.

Makes about 3 dozen

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda – from a previous TT thread I read this is
not Back Pulver but called Natron possibly available at the Apotheke..
please double check the TT site for that.
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup packed light-brown sugar – from a previous TT thread I read this is
available at Wal Mart??
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs
2 cups semisweet and/or milk chocolate chips (about 12 ounces)

1. Preheat oven to 350°. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda; set aside.

2. In another bowl, combine the butter with both sugars; beat with a mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy.

3. Reduce speed to low; add the salt, vanilla, and eggs. Beat until well mixed, about 1 minute.

4. Add flour mixture; mix until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.

5. Drop heaping tablespoon-size balls of dough about 2 inches apart on baking sheets lined with parchment paper.

6. Bake until cookies are golden around the edges, but still soft in the center, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven, and let cool on baking sheet 1 to 2 minutes. (Baking longer will result in crispy cookies)

7. Transfer to a wire rack, and let cool completely. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature up to 1 week

Freezing Cookie Dough
When a cookie recipe’s yield is more than you want to make, you can always save the extra dough in the freezer. Simply form the cookies, place them on a tray, wrap the tray tightly in plastic, and store it in the freezer. When you’re ready to bake them, remove the tray from the freezer, and allow it to stand for 5 to 10 minutes before placing them in the oven. Alternately, you can wrap the dough in parchment paper, roll it into a log, and freeze it. When it comes time to bake, slice off the amount of cookies you need, let the dough sit for a few minutes at room temperature, and bake according to directions

Note: I’ve bought frozen dough before, it came in balls…I just got them to room temperature, flattened them down a bit with a spatula and they were great. I’ll probably try it this way and store em in a plastic container.

Good luck!

Chicken Pie, you have to dont put the oats in, they are added at the end.

I bought some from Plus the other day.. orange packet.. only 8 in a packet for about 50cents but they were sooo good. lots of chocolate and quite light not chewy though but not crunchy.

the idea with the bread sounds really interesting!!!
i would love to try out the recipe, but i don't have any measuring jugs for cups (very strange US invention - what's wrong with g.???) and the last time i tried converting cups into grams, the result wasn't exactely what was described!!!
does anyone have a reliable conversion chart??

Natron is Bicarb. soda, and can be bought from e.g Kaufhof in light green packets from Dr. Oetkar - is case anyone is wondering

In Hertie at the American food section they have measuring jugs with the cups measurement. I have also seen measuring jugs in Kardstadt that have cups on them with lots of other measurements as well.

I am moving over soon and like to cook. Do I need to bring over my own brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder and measuring cups? What are other cooking staples I need? Do they sell cornstarch? My choc chip cookie recipe is almost the same to the one above and they are great. The secret is to not over cook them.

You can get cup measurers in Hertie, IKEA, Küstermann...or bring your own.
I have a Good Housekeeping conversion sheet and Lakeland Plastics measurers at home which I use.
Dr Oetke do a lot of backing products, for cornstarch use their Gustin. You can also buy Arm & Hammer baking soda in Hertie or use Dr Oetke Natron.

Hey all,

I duuno if they're what you're looking for but I noticed they sell "New Orleans" Chocolate-Chip cookies at Aldi.
They're not bad, and come pretty cheap.
Cheers
