I have not posted for a while, I guess because I have not had the motivation to try some new recipes, but I tried these cookies the other night and they were wonderful!! I also experimented with some Chicken Pot Pie Empanada's and they turned out great, so I will post those too!
Thick, Chewy Chocolate Chunk Cookies
Yield: 28 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup (1/2 lb.) butter, at room temperature
- 1 1/2 cups firmly packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips (12 oz.) I did not have enough milk chocolate chips, so I did half Milk Chocolate and Half White Chocolate.
- 1 cup chopped pecans (optional) I did not add the pecans because I don't like nuts in my cookies.
1. In a bowl, with an electric mixer on medium speed, beat butter and brown sugar until well blended. Beat in eggs and vanilla until smooth, scraping down sides of bowl as needed.
2. In another bowl, mix flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir or beat into butter mixture until well incorporated. Stir in chocolate chips and pecans, if using.
3. Drop dough in 2-tablespoon (1/8-cup) portions, 2 inches apart, onto buttered 12- by 15-inch baking sheets.
4. Bake in a 400° oven until cookies are lightly browned and no longer wet in the center (break one open to check), 6 to 8 minutes; if baking more than one pan at a time, switch pan positions halfway through baking.
5. With a wide spatula, transfer cookies to racks to cool. If hot cookies start to break, slide a thin spatula under them to release; let stand on pan to firm up, 2 to 5 minutes, then transfer to racks to cool completely.
