Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipes

Chocolate chip cookie recipes - A few tips for chocolate chip cookie lovers:

Always use real butter when making chocolate chip cookies.

Double to triple the amount of vanilla extract recommended for your chocolate chip cookies.

Always use real vanilla extract and not "vanillin," which is bogus for your chocolate chip cookies , although cheaper, and sold next to the genuine article in many grocery stores.

When making your chocolate chip cookies add a little milk, maybe just a tablespoon or two, when you are mixing the dough. This will make it less stiff and the cookies will be less hard and crunchy when they are done. If you do this, though, make sure the dough is nice and cold as you drop it onto the cookie sheet, and also make sure the cookie sheet is room temperature or cooler when you put the dough on it and put it into the oven.

1 2-layer package yellow cake mix

1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons water
2 eggs, beaten

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine all ingredients in large bowl; mix well. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto un-greased sheet. Press crisscross design with fork on each one. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. Cool for 1 minute; remove to wire rack to cool completely.

Choclate Chip

3 dozen

2-1/4 cups flour
1 level teaspoon baking soda
1 level teaspoon salt
3/4 cup each white and packed dark brown sugar
2 sticks (1/2 pound) sweet butter, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
12-ounce package Nestle semisweet chips

Preheat oven to 375F.
Mix the flour, baking soda and salt in a bowl and set aside.

Use a stand-type electric mixer to mix the two sugars briefly at low speed.

Add the butter in small gobbets, mixing first at low speed and then at high. Beat the mixture until it's pale, light, and very fluffy.

Add the vanilla at the mixer's lowest speed, then beat at high speed for a few seconds.

Add the eggs, again at the lowest speed, switching to high speed for the final second or so. The eggs should be well beaten in, and the mix should look creamed, not curdled.

Add the flour mixture, a half cup at a time, mixing at low speed for about one minute, then at high speed for a few seconds.

Scrape down the bowl's sides with a spatula, add the chocolate chips, and mix at low speed for about 10 seconds. If need be, scrape the bowl's sides again and mix for a few more seconds.

Put tablespoons of the mix on an ungreased sheet.

Bake until pale golden brown (nine minutes in an electric oven, 10 to 11 minutes in a gas one).
