Chocolate Chip Cookies Our Amish Grandmother Grossmummys Re Recipes

MY GRANDMA'S BEST CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE RECIPE..

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• 2. Cream butter, sugar, and brown sugar until it is nice and fluffy (approx. 5 minutes on medium speed on a KitchenAid Mixer.) Make sure the mixture gets VERY creamy.
• 3. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat for an additional 2 minutes. Add baking soda, baking powder, salt, and flour until cookie batter is fully incorporated. Finally add chocolate chips and the walnuts until well distributed. The cookie batter should be somewhat thick. Drop about 2 tablespoons of dough or use a medium cookie scoop and plop the batter onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
• 4. Bake for 12-14 minutes until the edges are nice and golden brown. We baked ours for 14 minutes, just watch them. Remove from heat and allow the cookies to stay on the cookie sheet for an additional 2 minutes. Pick up the parchment paper with the cookies still on top and transfer to a cool non-porous surface. Allow the cookies to cool on the paper for at least 3 minutes before serving. It was hard to wait 3 minutes, but we listened to Grandma's advice :) it was so hard to do...but well worth the wait...

Steps:

• Combine flour and baking soda. Set aside.
• Combine butter, sugars, vanilla and pudding mix in large mixing bowl.
• Beat until smooth and creamy.
• Beat in eggs.
• Gradually add flour mixture.
• Stir in chocolate chips.
• Drop by heaping teaspoons, about 2" apart, onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake @ 375 for 7-9 minutes, or until barely lightly browned. (Removing them while they still appear unbaked is the trick to having really soft/chewy/moist cookies, so experiment with it!)
• Cool on trays a few minutes before moving to cooling racks.
