I know, I know...yet another chocolate chip cookie recipe, but this one is for my daughters, who are expecting me to post all of their favorite recipes that I've made them over the years - so I had to add this one, as it's our favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe. Read more . It came from the McCall's monthly recipe club back in the 70's, so yes, I've been making this one for awhile. The key is to slightly underbake them so they come out like Mrs. Field's cookies that you buy at the mall shops - gooey, chewy, chocolatey, and sinfully delicious...enjoy! Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened |
1 cup sugar |
1/2 cup brown sugar |
2 eggs |
2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
21/2 cups flour |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 (12 ounce) package milk chocolate chips |
4 ounces grated hershey bar (optional – but it sure is good!) |
**note - for an occassional twist, when i'm feeling really extravagant, i add about 1 cup of chocolate coated toffee bits or white chocolate chips...why not go crazy once in awhile |
Directions:
1. Cream together butter and both sugars until fluffy.
2. Add egg and vanilla and mix well.
3. Add flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt, mixing until well blended.
4. Stir in chocolate chips and grated chocolate (if using this or any other optional ingredient).
5. Drop by spoonfuls onto lightly greased cookie sheets.
6. Bake at 350 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes, just until cookies are very lightly browned around the edges.
7. Let cookies cool for a couple minutes on the cookie sheets before removing them to wire racks or waxed paper to cool completely. Since they are slightly underbaked, they are too fragile to try to get a spatula underneath them when they are hot from the oven...be patient!
8. Note - as I said in the description, the key is to slightly underbake these for that chewy, gooey effect, so you do not want to have them browned on top - just ever so slightly browned around the outer edges is all. When you remove the pan from the oven, the cookies will fall in the center - that's ok...that's what makes them gooey and chewy when cooled. Bake one or two cookies your first time to see at what point you need to remove them from the oven for the perfect texture for your liking.
