    Recipe Introduction


    Posted by: Bosox_MA********I am a terrible cookie maker, but these came out beautifully and I must pass them on. The recipe is from Gourmet Magazine. Even beats the Original Toll House Cookie recipe. (It has to be the butter)

    List of Ingredients




    2 1/2 sticks softened unsalted butter
    1/2 cup sugar
    1/2 cup dark brown sugar
    1 tsp salt
    1 large egg
    1 tsp vanilla
    2 cups all purpose flour
    2 cups semisweet chocolate chips (12oz package)

    Recipe



    Beat together butter, sugars and salt in large bowl on high speed until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in egg and vanilla until combined, then reduce speed to low and mix in flour until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips and chill, covered, at least 4 hours or overnight.

    Heat over to 375. Drop 2 TBS mounds about 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheet. Bake 15 minutes. Cool for five minutes and transfer to racks to cool completely. Cool baking sheet between batches.

    NOTE: Apparently if you do not chill dough, the cookies spread too much because of all the butter. The dough is very firm after refrigerating, but I just dug it out with a spoon. Made each cookie a litle larger than a golf ball. I only cooked them 12 minutes and they were done. Crispy around the edges and chewy in middle. I also used regular butter plus the salt.


    I bet you could even roll this dough into tubes and give it as a gift with instructions for baking. Nothing like a hot cookie!!!!
