There are few things I love more than a piping-hot
chocolate chip cookie. This recipe is sure to be a favorite. Go ahead, whip up
a batch of these big-time cookies, bring ‘em in to school and rise to the tippy
top of your class. Yum-o.
Ingredients:
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
slightly
1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
2 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips (16 oz)
Directions:
1. Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to
375°F.
2. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment or wax paper
(the parchment paper is key).
3. Mix flour, baking soda and salt in a small bowl.
4. Beat butter and sugars in a large bowl with an electric
mixer at high speed until pale and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
5. Lightly beat 1 egg with a fork in a small bowl and add
1 3/4 tablespoons of it plus 2 remaining whole eggs to butter mixture, beating
with mixer until creamy, about 1 minute. Beat in vanilla.
6. Reduce speed to low and mix in flour mixture until just
blended, then stir in the chocolate chips.
7. Scoop ¼-cup of batter for each cookie, arranging mounds
3 inches apart, on 2 baking sheets.
8. Flatten mounds into 3-inch rounds using moistened palm
of your hand. Form remaining cookies on additional sheets of parchment.
9. Bake, 1 sheet at a time, until golden or 13 to 15 minutes.
Transfer cookies to a rack to cool and continue making cookies in same manner
using cooled baking sheets.
