It’s cookie season. I’ve already made a few batches of cookies this fall, but I’m always looking for bigger and better ways to make chocolate chip cookies specifically. 
I tried cold butter, higher oven temps, resting the dough for 48 hours, you name it. There’s SO MANY ways to make chocolate chip cookies, and I think it always just comes down to preference. How do you like your cookies? Personally, I like soft and chewy cookies. I’m not big on crispy, flat, and boring.
That’s where Karo® Corn Syrup comes in. I keep Karo® Corn Syrup as a pantry staple for pecan pie, which is so popular this time of year. Unfortunately, I hadn’t used it in any other recipes. I started looking at different recipes with corn syrup, since I didn’t want it to just sit around for the next year, and I stumbled upon some chocolate chip cookie recipes.
Back to my ventures in finding the perfect chocolate chip cookie, I’m always up for a new take on the original. And as a huge fan of chewy cookies, I felt like using Karo® Corn Syrup was the next test ingredient on my list. Seriously, if you’re a chewy cookie fan like me, you need to try this. Get that Karo® Corn Syrup out of your pantry, and get it into some chocolate chip cookies. It makes the chewiest cookie ever and leaves a perfectly soft middle.
Karo® Corn Syrup is the leading corn syrup brand, and has been trusted for over 100 years now. It’s what always comes to mind when I need to buy corn syrup, and it delivers every time in my pumpkin pie. I’m so glad to have another recipe to use it with now, and I may never go back to the original. Using Karo® Corn Syrup in my chocolate chip cookies makes the chewiest, tastiest chocolate chip cookie. And with the other basic cookie ingredients, it’s still so easy to make!
Enjoy the chewiest cookie and all of life’s sweet little moments with Karo® Corn Syrup. You will never look at chocolate chip cookies the same. <3 Sara
