Grandmas Fantastic Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the sugars, salt, and butter until a paste forms with no lumps.
• Whisk in the egg and vanilla, beating until light ribbons fall off the whisk and remain for a short while before dissolving back into the mixture.
• Sift in the flour and baking soda, then fold with a spatula to combine. (Be careful not to overmix, as the gluten in the flour to toughen resulting in cakier cookies.)
• Fold in the chocolate chips.
• Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes or, for a more intense, toffee-like flavor and deeper color, chill overnight. The longer the dough rests, the more complex its flavor will be.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Scoop the dough with an ice-cream scoop onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving at least 4 inches (10 centimeters) of space between cookies and 2 inches (5 centimeters) of space from the edges of the pan so that the cookies can spread evenly.
• Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges have started to barely brown. Top each cookie with a pinch of sea salt as soon as they come out of the oven, then let cool completely.
• Serve with a glass of milk.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Mix eggs, sugar, and oil together.
• Add rest of ingredients, saving chocolate chips for last and adding them in just until incorporated.
• At this point dough will be somewhat sticky so put in the refrigerator for at least one half of an hour to firm up.
• Roll into balls and press down slightly on dough which you have placed on lined cookie sheets ( I highly recommend using parchment paper ).
• Bake in a pre-heated 350 oven until sides are nicely browned. (oven times vary).
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• In a bowl, whisk together baking soda, baking powder, cornstarch, flour, and salt. Set aside.
• Now, with a mixer, mix the butter and sugars together well. Eventually the mixture will become fluffy.
• Now, on low speed, begin adding the remaining ingredients slowly while continuing to mix. Add the chocolate chips last and mix them in shortly.
• Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 60 hours (2 1/2 days). Really, any time between 48 and 72 hours (2 and 3 days) will work well. Shoot for 60 hours.
• When it is time to bake preheat your oven to 350.
• Line baking sheets with parchment paper and place ping pong ball sized dough balls 2 1/2"-inches apart on your baking sheets. Suggested to lightly sprinkle salt on top before baking.
• Bake for 17 minutes. Once baking is complete, transfer to wire racks to cool for 12-15 minutes.

Steps:

• 1. Heat oven to 375 degrees, Use Parchment paper on cookie sheet or use ungreased cookie sheet.
• 2. Thoroughly cream shortening and butter together.
• 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!

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. 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.
• COMBINE flour, baking soda and salt in small bowl. Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract in large mixer bowl until creamy.
• Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually beat in flour mixture.
• Stir in morsels and nuts.
• Drop by rounded tablespoon onto ungreased baking sheets.
• BAKE for 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown.
