Follow clear instructions without the fluff
Textual Chef was born from a simple frustration: recipe websites are cluttered with life stories, pop-ups, and distractions.
We built a clean, straightforward experience that puts recipes front and center. No more scrolling through paragraphs of backstory or fighting with pop-up ads.
Textual Chef is for cooks who value their time and attention. We believe recipes should be clear, accessible, and free from the distractions that plague traditional recipe sites.

Perfectly soft and chewy chocolate chip cookies with crisp edges and a gooey center. This timeless recipe creates the ultimate comfort dessert that everyone loves.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup butter, 1 cup brown sugar, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in 2 eggs one at a time, then stir in 2 tsp vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, combine 2 1/2 cups flour, 1 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp baking powder, and 1 tsp salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
Fold in 2 cups chocolate chips and 1 cup walnuts if using. Do not overmix.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
Bake for 9-11 minutes or until edges are golden but centers are still soft.
Let cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
