Mrs. Fields Chocolate Chip Cookies

[barbara-in-va]

Anyone remember these from the 1980’s. They went viral on the internet and I feel, are the best chocolate chip cookies around. I have made the recipe 100’s of times, if not more. Today I usually cut in half as it is a thick heavy dough and my mixer gets rather annoyed with me when I try the full recipe. Here is the full version. I have swapped around the nuts and choco chips in a zillion combinations. Today I made white choco and macadamia nuts. One of the other things I love about this recipe is the ground oatmeal. I carried that idea thru to my oatmeal cookies grinding up some of the oats. It gives a great texture. And, the ground milk choco in the dough, LOVE that!!

Hi Barbara, Thank you for the walk down memory lane......always loved this recipe.....I found a terrific article on Debbie Fields thought you might enjoy reading it

Mrs. Fields and the Bittersweet Smell of Success

Mrs. Fields’ founder, Debbi Fields, has been called both a "feminist American dream" and a "good-looking front" for a multimillion-dollar brand. The reality is somewhere in between.

I do remember! And a friend used to work for her husband before she hit it big and just brought cookies into the office for everyone.

Huh…I’ve always added ground oats, but that was because of the Neiman Markus cookie recipe:

The FAMOUS Neiman Marcus Cookie Recipe!

Are they very different from Mrs Fields?

My current favorite is the NYC Levain Bakery chocolate chip, the size of which is slightly obscene. I use Stella Parks version

Super-Thick Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe, à la Levain Bakery

Inspired by Levain Bakery, these giant chocolate chip cookies are a dessert of epic proportions.

Mine, however, are proportional to the size of my mouth, not my entire head.

Also, you have to really like walnuts because they are a major component, not just an optional add-in.

Segue: Barb, I checked out the True Foods recipe book but it had no edamame or dumpling recipes.
