Hey Eloise, You made the best chocolate chip cookies. You’re the best baker ever

[@jjcyber278]

Hello, this was a great video bc I love love chocolate chip cookies but I need measurements please provide if possible. Thanks 🙏🏽.

[@nonostarlight9659]

Do an easy to expert vanilla cake one!

[@maviscarlos6615]

I just finished baking the LEVEL 2 COOKIE: Intermediate. They are perfect. Soft in the middle(or inside) and then firm on the sides. Thank you so much Fitwaffle for this recipe. I have been researching for 2 days how to make the perfect cookie. It is very hard to make a perfect cookie. So for me this is very helpful. For some people who are looking for reference. This recipe is a must try. >To ensure that it will work out I recommend to cool down the butter first, fridge the dough for 1 hour and wait for 20 minutes before trying out the cookies. (made a big difference)
Our oven is not a fan oven. So I baked it at 350 Celsius for exactly 10 minutes.
I hope this helps. Happy baking everyone ❤

[@jovindsouza3407]

This is the only "easy to expert" series on youtube I can tolerate these days 😅 thank you for the recipes, they look delicious as always!

thank you so much, that's so nice 💕

Finally! I wanted to make brown butter cookies but always wished you'd post one since you are the easiest to follow

This is perfect especially for new cooks/bakers.

[@1isgrl88]

@@FitwaffleKitchen I have a question: Is it possible to freeze the expert cookies to bake later?

[@asiacobb9079]

Thank you for this!
Let me tell y’all something!!! I made the Intermediate batch for myself and my husband, and o. m. g. These are soooooo good!!! 😍🤤 like literally!! We cut the recipe in half and got about 7 cookies- so good! I’m impressed.

[@dxk1368]

This is such a cool idea
semi sweet chocolate in cookies are the best by far

[@donnaglee9695]

I made the intermediate cookie because I didn’t have any coffee or expresso powder. It’s delicious! My family loved it.

[@Essentially_Nothing]

Now, there's no 'perfect' cookie for everyone (beauty is in the eye of the beholder), but the expert one is pretty much exactly what I had in mind! The only thing I'd change is using salted butter, oatmeal and a couple of secret ingredients of mine!

[@FitwaffleKitchen]

Thank you 🥰 Salted butter is definitely an easy swap in, I like to use unsalted in some of my bakes as it allows me to control the level of salt in the over all bake 💕💖

[@Saabriinii]

I LOOOVE chocolate chip cookies, and I will definitely try #2 !! It's so cool you showed 3 different ways :)

Csn u make Nutella cookies with Nutella in the mixture folded in?
Huge fan been with you since the start, these recipes are great ❤

[@FitwaffleKitchen]

Yes definitely possible 💕 and thank you so much, thats so nice to know 💕💕💕

[@picknmiks4318]

These recipes are almost the same. I will probably try the intermediate one but I tend to stick to a very basic cookie recipe that I used to make as a kid from the Be-ro recipe book. Literally just butter, brown sugar, golden syrup, milk, flour and chocolate chips. No need to refrigerate the dough. We change which chips we add, sometime a mixture of white, milk and dark. My kids love them and they’re really quick and simple to make.

[@lightofthecross4513]

Definitely trying this ! Thank you !!

[@nonostarlight9659]

Wow these look so good! I will definitely try making one of these cookies^^ Also I have a question is it possible to make these cookies thick?

[@FitwaffleKitchen]

The recipe would be slightly different to allow the cookie dough to remain thick whilst cooking 💕

[@rosiedacosta8624]

Hi. I used butter bit my cookies didn't spread. Will tua dough have to na more liquid?

[@thezeuslightningbolt]

Hey can you please tell me the substitute for eggs?

[@PhotoStorage-r5c]

Hi can u use olive oil instead of butter?

[@JohnCooking-nl3oh]

even though im not her i know that butter would be the best choice

[@alexp601]

Hey Eloise, the last time you made 'Levain cookies' they weren't really quite right to be honest. It would be great if you wanted to do another video, similar to this, but with different Levain style cookie recipes (like Biscoff and Pumpkin spice along with the traditional Chocolate Chip Walnut). I personally think the big chunky Levain cookies are the best kinds of cookies.

[@FitwaffleKitchen]

I love an NYC style cookie, I actually visited Levain when I was in New York and didn't enjoy their cookies as much as I thought I would 😢

[@alexp601]

@@FitwaffleKitchen Ah ok, I haven't tried the proper ones from New York. The Crumbs and Doilies ones in Soho are amazing, and the ones I make always get the most compliments out of any other cookies I've made :)
