    What is with the name? My brother, Jeff, loved to come up with crazy nicknames and decided that mine was going to be Charmina. He loved to call me it as a kid.

    I was 13 years old and had my very first crush. My friends and I used to turn on our radios and listen to the Affection Connection every single night with Delilah.  I would play it on my little alarm clock radio as I went to bed at night and would imagine falling in love. Such a hopeless romantic.

    One night my friends put me up to calling Delilah and making a dedication.  I never in a million years thought she would answer....live on the show but it happened. I was a bumbling idiot as she started asking me questions. She started out with my name. Oh no! I couldn't use my real name so I blurted out, "my name is Charmina." I tried to say it without bursting out laughing. Her response was, "wow that is the most beautiful name I have ever heard." She preceded to say, "Charmina, who would you like to dedicate a song to?" I basically laughed my way through it but dedicated "More than Words" to my first little crush, Brian.

    So I decided to call this classic chocolate chip cookie recipe --  Charmina's Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies.

    This chocolate chip cookie recipe starts out with butter. The key is to melt ½ cup of butter in a saucepan until melted and slightly browned.  This allows the butter to deepen its nutty flavor.  The other ½ cup of butter is whipped and creamed with brown sugar and sugar. This allows for air to develop in the cookie dough.  The melted butter is added and creamed for 3 more minutes.

    It's the best of both worlds in one cookie! It has slightly more brown sugar than sugar which creates chewy chocolate chip cookies.

    This recipe calls for 1 Tablespoon of pure vanilla extract. This helps to create a depth of flavor in the chocolate chip cookie dough.  Two leavening agents -- baking soda and baking powder are added to give the cookies a nice loft. A mix of semi-sweet and milk chocolate chips put these cookies over the top.

    These phenomenal chocolate chip cookies are baked at 385 degrees. I tested this recipe at 375 degrees, 385 degrees, and 400 degrees and 385 won for the best chewy center and crispy edges.

      I love these cookies but mine never flatten out. They kind of stay rounder.

      Is the temperature of 385 correct? The cookies have only been in for 4 minutes and are already brown around the edges. Thanks.

      Hello ! I'm from France and I would like to know is it a special "brown sugar" you are using ? I don't want to fail if I try this recipe and I'm not sure that it's the same in France and in the USA 🙂 Thanks
