The recipe book I received was Martha Stewart's Cookies book... There is 175 recipes in the book. Cookie 1 of 175 I decided to start with the Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies. You can tell a lot about the rest of the recipes when you start with everyone's favorite... CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES!!! Makes me want one now. It was a hit... but it wasn't MY favorite. I did like how chewy the cookies turn out. But there was something that was missing for me. I will play around with the recipe a little bit... but some of the reviews said to only add one egg. Take the suggestion as you will... I haven't tried yet.
Here's the recipe:
Makes about 3 dozen
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup packed light-brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs
2 cups (about 12 ounces) semisweet and/or milk chocolate chips
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda; set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the butter with both sugars; beat on medium speed until light and fluffy. Reduce speed to low; add the salt, vanilla, and eggs. Beat until well mixed, about 1 minute. Add flour mixture; mix until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.
2. Drop heaping tablespoon-size balls of dough about 2 inches apart on baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
3. Bake until cookies are golden around the edges, but still soft in the center, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven, and let cool on baking sheet 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack, and let cool completely. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature up to 1 week.
