Answer 2

Chocolate Chip Cookies

Makes 2 dozen
You can substitute bittersweet chocolate for half of the semisweet chocolate chips.


1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature

1 1/2 cups packed light-brown sugar

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 large egg, room temperature

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

12 ounces semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped, or 1 twelve-ounce bag semisweet chocolate chips

1. Heat oven to 375°. Line several baking sheets with parchment paper, and set aside.

2. Combine butter and both sugars in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, and beat until light and fluffy. Add vanilla, and mix to combine. Add egg, and continue beating until well combined.

3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture. Mix on low speed until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips.

4. Scoop out 2 tablespoons of dough, and place on a prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough, placing scoops 3 inches apart. Bake until just brown around the edges, 16 to 18 minutes, rotating the pans between the oven shelves halfway through baking. Remove from the oven, and let cool slightly before removing cookies from the baking sheets. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.

Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies:

1 cup unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups white sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup chopped walnuts
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 10 minutes! Add the eggs one at a time and mix to incorporate. Add the vanilla and mix thoroughly.
In a 1 gallon plastic food bag, place the all-purpose flour, baking soda, kosher salt and cocoa powder. Seal the bag and massage the ingredients to combine. The mixture will appear homogenous with no separate ingredients showing.
Add the flour and cocoa mix to the creamed butter and sugar. Mix together until the dough appears completely combined - about 3 minutes. Add all the walnuts and chocolate chips and stir them into the dough. Drop by two teaspoonfuls onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Or roll into balls, place about two inches apart on the sheet, and flatten slightly with your fingers.
Bake for 11 minutes at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). The cookies will appear to be just barely firm with a sheen to their surfaces. Allow to cool on the sheet for about one minute before removing to a cooling rack to cool completely. Store in airtight containers.

Delish.

hi there you want to make sure that you start out with the right ingred. and the right pans; oven temp etc..i have found that all the cookie recipes that contain chocolate chips are pretty basic they all call for flour(all purpose) baking soda ,salt, two types of sugar(brown and white), and butter (unsalted) all though some call for a solid shortening but keep in mind the shortening make the texture of the cookie different than a cookie made with just un salted butter although i have done this both ways. its up to you how you want to make the cookies but keep it in mind to follow the recipe as it states..i have use the recipe on the back of a toll house cookie package and found that it works just fine..good luck in your findings
