When I first started eating Chocolate Chip Cookies, I remember biting into those big chunks of milk chocolate deliciousness and it was heaven. Fast forward decades later, and my new career is working with chocolate every single day - what did I discover? Micro Mini Dark Belgian Chocolate Chips! Game changer.
Referred to as "10,000 count/pound" by the pros, these little chips are tiny, and yet so decadently intense in their dark chocolate flavour that a little goes a long way. You can get amazing distribution of chocolate with these little gems.
I have been making this recipe for many years and only recently with the new chips. Adapted from the vintage Oatmeal Raisin Cookie recipe from the folks at Quaker Oats, I have replaced the shortening with butter and the raisins with the micro mini chips.
Imagine them in a Cheesecake, Pound Cake or Banana Loaf...their little size helps them resist sinking!
These chips are available in the Chocolatier's Pantry located inside Beanermunky Chocolate Dundas.
