Chocolate Chip Cookies III
Tuesday, February 21st, 2012Craving for chocolate chip cookies? They are simple to make, and yet, can be tricky at times. They can be either chewy, crunchy, chocolatey, extremely sweet etc.
This recipe is my favourite thus far. The secret behind it? No all-purpose flour involved! Loving it :) Keep in mind that this recipe makes a huge batch of cookies. Be sure to share with others!
Ingredients:
1 lb unsalted butter, soften
1 + 3/4 cups white sugar
2 + 1/4 cups packed brown sugar
4 large eggs
3 cups + 2 tbsps pastry flour
3 cups bread flour
1/2 tbsp salt
2 tsps baking powder
2 tsps baking soda
1 tbsp pure vanilla extract
1.5 lbs chocolate chips
Directions:
1. With paddle attachment on a stand mixer, cream together butter and sugars until smooth. Add pure vanilla extract and mix well. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
2. In a mixing bowl, mix together both flours, baking powder, and baking soda. On a low speed, add these dry ingredients into the stand mixer bowl.
3. After ingredients are well incorporated, add chocolate chips into cookie batter. Stir just enough to mix well.
4. On a large, lined cookie sheet, place cookie dough (~ 1.5 tbsp each) about 2 inches apart. Bake it preheated oven at 350 F for 15 minutes or until lightly brown along the edge.
* Yield: ~ 8 dozens
