This was e-mailed to me the other day out of the blue from an old college friend. Sounds tempting enough to whip up right away! *Prep time is just an assumption.* Ingredients:
10 tablespoons butter, softened |
1 cup sugar |
2 large eggs |
1 tablespoon vanilla extract |
3 -4 cups all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon salt |
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips or 2 cups milk chocolate chips |
1 cup chopped nuts (optional) |
1 2/3 cups white chocolate chips (10 oz. package) |
2 -5 tablespoons heavy cream |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325°F.
2. COOKIES: Cream the butter and sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until well blended.
3. Blend in the eggs and vanilla.
4. Combine the flour and salt; add gradually to the butter mixture with the mixer on low speed.
5. Mix just until combined, only adding enough flour to make a dough.
6. Stir in the chocolate chips and nuts (if using) with a spoon.
7. Shape dough into 1 balls; spaced 1 apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
8. Flatten cookies slightly.
9. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until light golden brown around the bottom edge; do not overbake.
10. Cool for 2 minutes on the cookie sheets; transfer cookies to wire racks and cool completely.
11. GLAZE: (Make this while the cookies are baking) Melt the white chocolate chips in a medium saucepan over very low heat, stirring, until smooth.
12. Add enough heavy cream to make a medium-thick glaze.
13. Heat again and stir until smooth.
14. Spoon 1 tsp of the glaze over the top of each warm cookie.
15. Cool completely.
