$108 vs $14 Chocolate Chip Cookies: Pro Chef & Home Cook Swap Ingredients | Epicurious

Professional chef Lish Steiling and home cook Beth are swapping chocolate chip cookie recipes and hitting the kitchen! We set Beth up with the finest ingredients from chef Lish’s kitchen along with her recipe for an unforgettable batch of $108 cookies. With her cookie-baking credentials on the line, Beth dialed up food scientist Rose for a quick consultation. Meanwhile over with chef Lish, Beth’s recipe and $14 worth of ingredients were being remixed up to gourmet status with a little skill and professional know-how. Which cookie are you having before bed?

The professional chef really amped up her game... appreciate not adding anything on Beth's ingredients... just pure technique!

The amount of respect Lish gave Beth warmed my heart. Well done you two. They both looked mouth watering

[PolarisGrace]

I love the fact that they brought Lish back! Shes so sweet and calming

[MMMbutofCOURSE]

"Who's luckier than us? No one!"

I smiled so much when I heard that. So wholesome.

[sebidoo]

Rose seems like the loveliest person in the world. It always makes me smile to listen to her, even if she's just explaining how to make brittle.

[JW-bewf]

Beth's cookies have that magic ingredient that makes any cookies delicious. Grandma's love.

[lvalentine]

I love that the only thing Beth needed help with was the brittle. She had everything else down, no issue. Beth is a formidable cook and Baker for being level 2

[JessicaJinx]

I love that they tried each other's dish, It's what we wanted for so long!
Also I just love Lish, she's so fun to watch!

[lancebeltran]

Beth: *FEARS NEW INGRIDIENTS*
also Beth after using it: *THIS IS SO FUN TO DO WITH MY GRANDSONS*

[lunarmagpie]

The ending… two queens gassing each other up, literally what more could we ask for

[EagleandTurtle]

Chef Lish explains things so well! She's a great presenter.

[chonkykamote]

It is pretty rare to see two grandma level chefs.

[dearthofdoohickeys]

Beth was such a savage when eating Lish’s cookies 😂 “they’re very tasty but they’re not mine.”

[xCrystalHeartzx]

Beth eating the ingredients speaks to me on a spiritual level

[BtAcH]

I've tried using the toasted butter and flour method recommended by chef Lish for my brownies and dear god my brownies came out better than I ever thougt possible without changing the ingredients at all. it gives my brownies some nutty flavour... without the nuts.

[freshbakedbun]

Love both these ladies so much... and learned some great tips even for someone who can't afford the most expensive ingredients 😁

[kimdeweese]

This pro chef is awesome. You can just feel and see her passion. Love it!

[rachelf]

I love Chef Lish!! I've been waiting for her to come back ever since she and Lorenzo switched recipes, I love that she doesn't add ingredients that weren't given to her.

[LuisCastillo-xfun]

I must say I toasted the flour and O M G my chocolate chip cookies went out of this world 😍🍪

Lish Steilling, THANK YOU!
