My sister just posted this recipe on her blog and then called to tell me about them. She had found an altered Toll House recipe and had given it a try and loved it! I decided to make these for two of Fig's meetings. He had double booked himself so the first meeting was supposed to start at 7 in his office and the second was supposed to be at 7:30 at our house! The junior high leaders showed up at 7:30 and chatted until 7:40 when Fig zipped in and started the second meeting! I finished baking the cookies during the meeting and the leaders enjoyed them during snack time. About half were left so they'll head to Fig's meeting tonight!
Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients
2 1/4 c. flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1 c. butter, MELTED (not just softened)
1/2 c. granulated sugar
1 c. packed brown sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 whole egg plus 1 egg yolk
1 12 oz. bag chocolate chips
1 c. oatmeal (optional)
Directions
1. Combine the flour, soda and salt in a bowl and set aside.
2. Beat butter, sugars and vanilla until well mixed.
3. Add the eggs and mix well.
4. Gradually beat in the flour mixture until well mixed.
5. If using oatmeal, beat in now.
6. Stir or beat in the chocolate chips on the lowest setting.
7. Set the dough in the fridge to chill for 20 minutes.
8. Roll into 1 inch balls and bake on an ungreased cookie sheet at 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes or until light brown at the edges. Do NOT overbake. Cool on wire racks.
Note: I got exactly 3 dozen cookies from this recipe.
Keep the cookies in an airtight container with a slice of bread. The bread will keep the cookies soft by absorbing the moisture. When the bread becomes hard, replace it with a new piece of bread.
