In the mood for something sweet? This recipe is easy and turns out wonderful every time. With the help of extra brown sugar as compared to other recipes, the cookies stay chewy and moist until they are all gone...which won't be long! Add dried fruit, different nuts, or try peanut butter chips or white chocolate chips. Enjoy!
* 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
* 1 teaspoon baking soda
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
* 1/2 cup granulated sugar
* 1 cup packed brown sugar
* 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
* 2 large eggs
* 2 cups Semi-Sweet Chocolate chips
* 1 cup chopped walnuts
PREHEAT oven to 375° F.
COMBINE flour, baking soda and salt in small bowl. Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla in large mixer bowl until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually add in flour mixture. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts. Drop rounded tablespoons onto ungreased baking sheets, spaced evenly apart.
BAKE for 9 to 11 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.
TIPS- Adding extra brown sugar and reducing the amount of granulated sugar will result in successful chewy cookies every time.
Do your cookies stick on your cookie sheets? Use a Silpat pad, found at your local kitchen supply store. It is a wonderful reusable mat made of silicon and fiberglass that prevents sticking.
Store cookies in a sealed container with a piece of sliced bread. When the bread dries out, simply replace with a new piece and your cookies will stay fresh and moist!
