BIG BUTTERY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• 1. First, in the bowl of an electric mixer, beat cold butter for until light and creamy. Next, add in brown sugar and regular sugar and beat until light and fluffy. Add in eggs, one at a time, beating until incorporated. Finally add in vanilla and mix well.
• 2. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Next, stir to combine. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Finally, fold in chocolate chips. In order to avoid tough cookies, do not over mix.
• 3. Using a large cookie scoop or ice cream scoop, scoop large portions of cookie dough onto a cookie sheet lined with a silicone baking mat. The cookie sheet should be one that you can fit inside your freezer. Cookies can be placed close to each other because this sheet is going right into your freezer and not your oven.
• 4. Freeze cookie dough on your baking sheet for one hour.
• 5. When ready to bake, preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Once oven has reached temperature, remove six of your cookie dough balls from the freezer and place them on another baking sheet, lined with a silicone baking sheet or parchment paper. Bake for approximately 15-18 minutes or until starting to turn golden brown around the edges.
• 6. Remove from oven and place baking sheet onto a wire rack to cool. Allow cookies to cool completely on rack before removing from sheet. Afterwards repeat with remaining balls of cookie dough. Finally, store in an airtight container.

CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°.
• Mix butter, sugars, vanilla and eggs in a large bowl.
• Mix together, and stir in, flour, baking soda and salt.
• Stir in chocolate chips.
• Drop dough by rounded measuring tablespoonfuls about 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheet.
• Bake 12-15 minutes or until lightly browned.
• Cool slightly; remove from cookie sheet.
• Cool on a wire rack.
• Just a note: I noticed that flat vented cookie sheets work best for even baking. I used dark coated, side-edged cookie sheets on some of the batches and was disappointed because the bottoms of the cookies baked faster than the top. I would think in that case, that lowering the temperature and keeping a good 'eye' on them would help if that is the kind of pans you have as well. ;) PS. The cookies in the photo were baked using flat, no-sided, vented cookie sheets.

Steps:

• 1. Heat oven to 350ºF. Mix butter, sugars, vanilla and eggs in large bowl. Stir in flour, baking soda and salt. Stir in chocolate chips.
• 2. Drop dough by rounded measuring tablespoonfuls about 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheet.
• 3. Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until light brown. Cool slightly. Remove from cookie sheet to wire rack; cool.
• Tip: To freeze - keep cookie dough balls in freezer bags and bring out what you want. Thaw and bake. Or just freeze the extra baked cookies...it makes a lot. To me, they taste best if eaten within 1-2 days. Freeze cookies if they'll be around much longer than that.
