Chocolate chipper cookies

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 cups Sifted white flour
1 teaspoon Baking soda
½ teaspoon Salt
½ cup Plus
2 tablespoons Butter*; softened
1 cup Light brown sugar
¼ cup Granulated sugar
1 large Egg
1½ teaspoon Vanilla**
¾ cup Pecans; optional
9 ounces Milk chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate chips -or-
9 ounces Extra-bittersweet chocolate; cut coarsely into chunks

Directions

*(do not use margarine) ** (imitation is fine for this recipe, but the powdered vanilla has the best flavor) Preheat to 375. In a mixer (Kitchen Aid, or hand mixer) cream the butter and sugars. Mix for at least three minutes. Add the egg & vanilla. Mix again. Stir in the dry ingredients, mix another two minutes. Add chocolate and nuts. Mix again, less than one minute is all that is necessary. Use cookie sheets lined with parchment paper. Roll each cookie into a firm ball and place three across on sheet.

Bake for exactly 12 minutes. This will produce chewy cookies, bake for 14 minutes if you like them crunchy.
