While on vacation this summer I read the book Chocolate Chip Cookie Murder by Joanne Fluke. The author included several cookie recipes throughout the book. I want to pass this book on to my partner in the Used Media Swap on Zaar so I am posting the recipe here to try later. If you get a chance to make the cookies before me, please post a review to let us know how good they are. The author did not indicate the serving size so I guessed. I will update when I know exact serving sizes. Please note: Preparation time listed does not include dough chilling time. Ingredients:
2 cups chocolate chips |
3/4 cup butter |
2 cups brown sugar |
4 eggs |
2 teaspoons vanilla |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1 teaspoon salt |
2 cups flour (not sifted) |
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar (in a small bowl) |
Directions:
1. Do not preheat oven yet - dough mush chill before baking.
2. Melt chocolate chips with butter. (Microwave on high power for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth).
3. Mix in sugar.
4. Allow to cool.
5. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
6. Mix in vanilla, baking powder and salt.
7. Add flour & mix well.
8. Chill dough for at least 4 hours (overnight is even better).
9. Preheat oven to 350 degrees with rack in middle position.
10. Roll walnut-sized dough balls with you hands (this is messy, you might want to wear plastic gloves).
11. Drop the balls into the bowl of confectioners' sugar & roll them around until they are covered.
12. If dough gets too warm, stick it back into the fridge until you can handle it again.
13. Place the balls on a cookie sheet (12 to a standard sheet works best).
14. Do not flatten - they will flatten as they bake.
15. Bake at 350 degrees for 12-14 minutes.
16. Let them cool on the cookie sheet for 2 minutes and then remove to a wire rack to finish cooling.
17. Eat and enjoy.
