Recipe The Worlds Best Chocolate Chip Cookie








RECIPE:  WORLDS BEST CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE


  • 1 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour 
  •  1/2 teaspoon baking soda 
  • 4 ounces (1 Stick Butter)
  • 1/2 cup Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Light Brown Sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 8 ounces Best Quality Dark Chocolate Chips
  •  
  • PREPARATION:
  •  
  • 1.  Sift together flour and baking soda and set aside. In the bowl of a standing electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter until lemony yellow, about 2 minutes. Scrape down sides of bowl and paddle. Add sugar, brown sugar and salt. Continue creaming mixture on medium speed until it is smooth and lump free, about 1 minute. Stop mixer and scrape down sides of bowl and paddle.
  • 2.  Add egg and vanilla and beat on low speed for 15 seconds, or until they are fully incorporated. Do not over-beat. Scrape down sides of bowl and paddle.
  • 3.  On low speed, add sifted flour mixture. Beat slowly until all of the flour is incorporated. Scrape down sides of bowl. Add chocolate chunks and mix in.
  • 3.  Heat oven to 350 degrees with the rack positioned in the lower third of the oven. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment. Spoon heaping teaspoons of dough 2 inches apart onto baking sheets. If not baking right away, remove small handfuls or spoonfuls of dough from mixer and plop them down on the middle of a sheet of parchment or wax paper, creating a log about 1 1/2 inches wide and 12 inches long. Fold parchment over, creating a sausage. Chill for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight. Using a serrated knife, slice chilled dough into 1/3-inch-thick rounds and place them 2 inches apart, in staggered rows, on parchment-lined sheets and proceed. (Dough will keep nicely, tightly wrapped, in the refrigerator for 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 1 month. Thaw frozen dough at room temperature for 30 minutes before slicing.)
  • 4.  Bake one sheet at a time for 12 to 15 minutes, until lightly browned, rotating the baking sheet front to back halfway through. Remove from heat and slide parchment off baking sheet and onto a work surface. Allow cookies to cool for at least 5 minutes before serving, or for at least 20 minutes before storing in an airtight container. They will keep for up to 3 days at room temperature.

SUNDAY SAUCE
 
by Daniel Bellino-Zwicke
 
 
 
Sunday Sauce by Sicilian-American author Daniel Bellino-Zwicke from Greenwich Village New York is our number one pick for thee # 1 greatest book on the monumental subject of Sunday Sauce, the greatest most Supreme dish in all of Italian-America. As Daniel explains, it's not just a dish, it's a ritual an complete and all encompassing ritualistic experience, both making and eating this dish called Sunday Sauce, aka GRAVY ... Yes some call it Gravy as the awesome Steve Martorano of South Philly states on the cover of his book titled ; 
IT AIN'T SAUCE - IT'S GRAVY !
OK Steve, we know you're passionate about that, as are millions of Italian-Americans all across America, some call it Sauce and some call it Gravy, this is a great debate, but no matter what you call it depending if you're in New York, New Jersey, Boston, New Orleans, Brooklyn, or where ever, the dish is still the same, it's delicious no matter what you call it, and it does the same thing, it brings friends and family together around the table to eat this fabulous dish called Sunday Sauce (Gravy), and that's all that matters.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
# 2 on OUR LIST
 
 
IT AINT SAUCE - IT'S GRAVY
 
 
by STEVE MARTORANO
 
 
 
Steve Martorano from South Philly is a force of nature. His restaurant and Meatballs are now famous all over the World. Steve like Daniel has a wonderful style and passion for the thing he loves so much, the Italian-American Table, the food and the people. Steve's passion comes through in his book which is filled with great recipes and animated stories of South Philly and the Food of Italian-America as well as his experiences both ups and downs in the restaurant business where he has become the undisputed Champ as The King of Meatballs. It Ain't Sauce It's Gravy is a great read and must have for anyone who loves Italian Food, both cooking and eating it. Yo Cuz, Nuff Said.

The Allman Brothers Band from Author Daniel Bellino Zwicke - Greg & Duane Allman

INSTAGRAM @danielBELLINOzwicke


My INSTAGRAM  @danielBellinoZwicke on May 30 MEMORIAL DAY 2017 .. Posted here is a remembrance of the great GREG ALLMAN of The ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND or sadly passed away the other day at the age of 69 ... Greg Allman both part of the Country Rock Band The Allman Brothers and as a solo artist was a giant in the world of music. Being married to CHER at one point in his life didn't hurt his popularity. But apart from that, I have been a huge fan of Greg's his brother Duane Allman who died much too young (age 27), and their band ; The Allman Brothers ... Greg & Duane Allman were pioneers of what would become to be know as Country Rock ... The Alman Borthers Band is also a member of The ROCK & ROLL Hall of Fame ... Anyway I was fortunate to see the Allman Brothers Band perform live twice, along with having the great pleasure to meet and shake Greg Allman 's hand one day when my friends and I were hanging out one night at the former New York souther foods restaurant Jezebel in Hells Kitchen. My Friends and I were having cocktails when we looked up to see none other then Mr. Greg Allman playing Jezebels Baby Grande Piano and sing Sweet Melissa unplugged. Greg also treated us to two more tunes that night and was so gracious as to get up from his table to shake our hands as we walked by his table and I waved to him as a way of saying thanks, Greg jumped up and extended his hand to shake mine. Wow, now that's a gentleman. We will Miss You Mr. Greg Allman. Thanks for all the great music from; you, your Brother Duane and The Band. We'll miss you. Daniel .

Also pictured here are pictures taken at my cousin Joe Macari's vineyard Macari Vineyards in Mattituk, NY on the North Fork of Long Island. Pictured are a Black Pig, FABIO The BULL, some Cow and a Horse, a local Beach, ME, friend James Starace, and cousin Joe Macari, and some Macari Rose. You see the video of My Cousin Joe Macari pouring us a Barrel Sample of his 2015 Malbec from Barrel ... The wine is Friggin Awesome! "I kid you not." My buddy Jimmy Starace and his wife Tanya went Nuts for it. It was that good. One of the best wines I've had all year, if not the best. And I'm not just saying it because Joe is my cousin. Joe, his son Joey, wife Alexandra, daughter Gabriella, and the whole family are very dedicated to make great quality wine. And they do. And I'm not just saying it because Joe is my cousin. If he didn't make great wine, I just wouldn't say anything. But with the fact that the Macari's do make dam good wine, yes I will toot My Horn. Nuff said. Also pictured is a picture I took at my local Supermarket in Greenwich Village of a jar of RAO'S MARINARA SAUCE and a picture of MARIO BATALI 'S pasta sauce. I snapped the shot and posted it on Instagram with the Question, RAOS or MARIOS . with the answer of "NEITHER" !!! "I'd rather make My own SUNDAY SAUCE with the recipes in my book Sunday Sauce , WHEN ITALIAN-AMERICANS COOK .. Basta !
