Marcel's Million-Dollar Cookies
List of Ingredients
4 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 pound cold, unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 pound light brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
5 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
6 ounces white chocolate, melted
3 cups chopped pecans (toasted on baking sheet 10 minutes at 350 degrees; cool before using)
1 pound semi-sweet baking chocolate, chopped into 1/4-inch piecesRecipe
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Sift the flour, baking soda and salt onto wax paper. Set aside till needed.
Place the butter and sugars in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle. Beat on medium speed for 6 minutes, till smooth. Use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl, then continue to beat on medium 4 minutes longer till very smooth.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating on medium for 1 minute and scraping down the sides of the bowl after each addition. Add the vanilla and beat on medium for 1 minute. Stop the mixer and add the melted white chocolate; beat on medium for 1 minute, till incorporated.
Gradually, using low speed, add the sifted ingredients, followed by the pecans and chocolate; mix for 1 minute till incorporated. Scrape down sides.
Using 2 heaping tablespoons of dough for each cookie (about 2 ounces), portion 6 cookies onto each of 2 non-stick baking sheets. Bake on the top and center racks for 15-17 minutes, rotating the sheets from top to center about halfway thru the baking time (also rotate each sheet 180 degrees). Let cookies cool on baking sheets. Repeat with the remaining dough.
Makes 4 dozen cookies.
