The main ingredient , the Country Crock Spread was provided by Influenster through their Influenster Vox Box. Thank you !
It was pretty soft and easy to spread. And the fact that color of the spread was so close to regular butter, it kinda fools the eyes . Even after baking 4 dozen cookies, I still had some left for spreading on my toast for breakfast. I had received a coupon in my mail and I redeemed the coupon at a retailer of my choice. selected the Original style. The cookies were pretty good and it tasted great on my toast. This will surely find a place in my grocery list when this tub runs out.
As I had never baked cookies with a butter alternative, I decided to stick to something safe. Chocolate is always fool proof. Add to it more chocolates and maybe a smidge more, you are basically on very safe ground. The #MakeItYours Campaign comes with a basic cookie recipe, which cane be altered to many varieties. From confetti to bacon chocolate, the possibilities are quite a few. My pick was the Chocolatey Chocolate Chip Cookies. There are many cookie recipes ,which call for the dough to be chilled before being baked. I liked the fact that the #MakeItYours Recipe did not call for an extra chilling time for the dough. It just called for the Butter Spread to be kept in the refrigerator before mixing in the ingredients.
The cookies were soft and quite tasty, to be honest. Nowhere did I feel that they were not made with regular butter. My husband had already polished off four from the first batch while I was busy in the kitchen with the rest of the batches. It made exactly 4 dozen cookies. So its a good recipe if you want to make cookies for goodie bags or cookies for a kid's birthday birthday.
My only alteration to the original recipe was that I had used Dark Brown Sugar, which has a larger molasses content. It made the cookies a bit chewy and soft, and that's how I like my chocolate chocolate chip cookies. You can stick to Light Brown Sugar if you don't like chewy cookies.
