Grandmas Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipes

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:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Mix thoroughly shortening, butter and sugars, salt, eggs and vanilla.
• Blend in remaining ingredients.
• Bake 8- 10 minutes until golden brown. Do not overbake.
• *if using self rising flour, omit baking soda and salt.
• (For a softer, rounder cookie, add additional 1/2 cup flour).

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°.
• In a mixing bowl, cream together the first five ingredients.
• After creaming the first five ingredients add the last four and make sure everything is mixed together well.
• Drop by tablespoonfuls on to cookie sheets and bake for 9-10 minutes.
• For M&M cookies: Replace chocolate chips with M&M plain baking bits.

Steps:

• 1. Heat oven to 375 degrees, Use Parchment paper on cookie sheet or use ungreased cookie sheet.

• 3. Add white sugar and brown sugar and mix well; add eggs and beat thoroughly; add cinnamon, salt, and baking soda and mix well. Add vanilla and mix together.
• 4. Add flour (1 cup at a time) and mix well after each addition ending with the 1/2 cup.
• 5. Add the chocolate chips and any additions you choose. It is important to follow the order of the directions as stated.
• 6. Drop by big tablespoons (I use a 2" ice cream scoop) onto cookie sheet 2-3" apart. Bake 14 minutes. Remove from oven and let sit for 1 minute before removing from cookie sheet. Enjoy!
