Daddy’s Favourite Chocolate Chip Cookies 🍪
I learned to bake in the kitchen at my mom’s house using Jean Paré’s Company’s Coming cookbooks. And my most used, seared into my brain favourite chocolate chip cookie recipe is the Chocolate Chippers on page 23 of the Cookies cookbook.
Admittedly, I haven’t baked these cookies (or much of anything) in a long time. But, there was a time when baking was one of my favourite things. Now, eating baked goods is still one of my favourite things, and I’m wondering if I should be baking more myself, and then teaching Ollie to mix and help and be involved in the kitchen when he gets a little older and more able.
As I thought about creating this post and sharing my love for this recipe with you all I searched and searched for the original Chocolate Chippers recipe I remember baking. I found a couple posts that seemed right, but didn’t quite match up. I found an awesome, updated version of the recipe – Decadent Chocolate Chippers in Company’s Coming Cookie Jar Classics that has even more chocolate pieces in the recipe.
No more preamble, here’s the recipe as presented by Jean Paré and her team (with a couple notes from me).
Company’s Coming – Chocolate Chippers Recipe (Company’s Coming Cookies pg 23)

🍪 Brown sugar, packed → 1 1/2 cups / 375 ml
🍪 Eggs → 2
🍪 Vanilla → 1 tsp. / 5 ml
🍪 All-purpose flour → 2 cups / 500 ml
🍪 Cornstarch → 1/4 cup / 60 ml
🍪 Salt → 3/4 tsp. / 4 ml
🍪 Baking Soda → 1 tsp. / 5 ml
🍪 Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips → 2 cups / 500 ml
🍪 Chopped walnuts → 1 cup / 250 ml
Directions
🍪 Preheat oven to 350° and grease two (2) cookie sheets. *
🍪 1. Cream butter and sugar together. Beat in eggs 1 at a time. Add vanilla.
🍪 2. Stir flour, cornstarch, salt and baking soda together and add. Stir in chips and nuts. Drop spoonfuls onto greased baking sheet. Bake in 350° F (180° C) oven for 10 to 15 minutes. Makes 5 1/2 dozen.
🍪 Let cool 5 to 7 minutes before removing baked cookies from sheet and preparing next batch for baking. *
🍪 Use four (4) cookie sheets instead of two (2) to bake twice as many cookies at a time, while still giving cool time and prep time for faster batch-after-batch baking. *

Company’s Coming has a ton of cookbooks that you should look at if you love cooking. And they aren’t paying for that endorsement, I just have always like cooking and baking with them.
Visit companyscoming.com to see the list of books available, and buy directly from them to make sure you can find them. On my last trip to our local Walmart there were some books, but not as many as I thought I remembered.
There are also some Company’s Coming cookbooks available from Chapters/Indigo online in Canada – including selections starting at just $4.99.
If I’m going to do more baking and cooking, I’m going to need more recipes to try and tinker with. So if you have a favourite cookbook or series or cookbooks, please leave a comment and let me know!
