Chocolate chip cookies are a family favourite in our house. I know it is one of my most requested recipes. I have even had people offer to pay me to make a batch for them.

But after a while, I started looking for something new, something different than just a chocolate chip cookie. And that is where this recipe came from.

These cookies have a secret ingredient in them that I didn’t even tell my family about.

How Do You Make Different Chocolate Chip Cookies?

Chocolate Chip Cookies are a type of cookie that can be changed up so easily. Every batch can be different by changing the flavour of the chips or by using a different sugar.

There is one ingredient in this recipe that makes it different. Something I never thought I would put in a cookie or any baked good for that matter. Chocolate Milk Syrup!

Yes, that syrup that you put in milk. The one my kids are always asking for that I rarely ever buy. The one I only use in milkshakes as a treat for the family. Nesquik Chocolate Syrup.

How To Make Cookies The Same Size

When it comes to baking cookies, having even-sized cookies makes is best.

In order to get my cookies to be the same size, I use a cookie scoop. An ice cream scoop also works the same way. A medium-sized cookie scoop makes the best size and is the most commonly used. A larger scoop is good for bake-sale cookies. And a small scoop makes the perfect size for little hands or for decorating cakes and cupcakes.

Tips for Making Nesquik Chocolate Chip Cookies

When making these cookies, a hand mixer works best for mixing the dough. If you want to use a stand mixer, it will work as well but make sure you don’t over-mix the dough. An over-mixed dough will cause the cookies to spread and you will have a crisp cookie as a result.

Chilling the dough is a must for the best results. The longer the dough is chilled, the softer the cookies will be.  Without chilling the dough will spread and you will end up with a cookie that is more like a crepe.

The recipe calls for both shortening and butter. This is not a typo. After testing different methods, the combination of the two produced the best results.

When it comes to chocolate chips, whatever you have on hand will work. I made these cookies with semi-sweet chocolate, dark chocolate, white chocolate chips, and milk chocolate chips. All flavours worked well with each one providing a little different flavour. So go ahead and use whatever you have on hand or whatever your preference is.

Credit To My Daughter

I have to give my daughter credit for this one. Without knowing, she gave me the idea.

I was baking these cookies all week, trying to get the recipe right, but something was missing. And I am not one to give up on a recipe. I kept trying different sugars and butter/shortening combinations.

Then while I was making a batch, my daughter came in to make some chocolate milk. As often happens with teenagers, she didn’t put the chocolate syrup away when she was done with it. She left it right there on the counter beside all my baking ingredients.

Since the bottle was in my way, I noticed it and grabbed it to put it back in the cupboard when the idea hit. What if this is what is missing? What if it just needs more chocolate?

It worked. I made three more batches of these cookies and everyone agreed these cookies were great. They just needed more chocolate. And the syrup provided just enough liquid to make the cookie moist and chewy.
