Christiana wanted to make cookies and we always make them from
scratch. Her brother Jake has made the best cookies since he was 8 years old. I
gave him a basic chocolate chip recipe and he has tweak
it several times and is always trying something new in the recipe.
His basic recipe turned out to be very similar to Emeril's
Big Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe. His favorite is with peanut butter chips, chocolate chucks and pecans. We are allergic to walnuts and have never tried the recipe with them.
Big Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe.
INGREDIENTS
·
2
1/4 cups flour
·
1
teaspoon baking powder
·
1/2
teaspoon baking soda
·
1/2
teaspoon salt
·
1
cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
·
3/4
cup granulated sugar
·
3/4
cup light brown sugar
·
1
teaspoon vanilla extract
·
1
large egg, cracked into a small cup or saucer
·
1/2
cup semisweet chocolate chips
·
1/2
cup milk chocolate chips
·
1/2
cup white chocolate chips
·
1
cup chopped, toasted walnut pieces, (optional)
Preheat the oven to 350 F.
Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into a medium bowl and set aside.
Place the butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer and cream the ingredients on high speed. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula.
Add the vanilla and egg and mix on medium speed.
Add the flour mixture and mix on low speed just until batter is stiff
Fold in the chocolate chips and the nuts
Using a tablespoon, scoop about 2 spoonfuls of the dough into a ball and place on a baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough, keeping the scoops about 2 inches apart. Using your fingers or the back of the spoon, press down on each ball of dough to slightly flatten. You should get about 9 cookies on each sheet.
Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
remove the cookies from the oven and transfer with a plastic turner to wire racks to cool.
Yield: About twenty-seven 4-inch cookies
