Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookies

There is nothing like a warm chocolate cookie and

a cold glass of milk. I have made many different kinds

of chocolate chip cookies and this one is my favorite.

You can add your favorite nuts or chips. Remember

Santa loves cookies too.

Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookies

3 1/2 cups all purpose flour

1 1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1 1/4 teaspoon baking powder

2 teaspoons coarse salt

2 1/2 sticks unsalted butter

1 1/2 cups light brown sugar

1 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 1/4 cups chocolate chips

8 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped

1) In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda and salt.

2) In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter

and sugars on medium-high until light and fluffy, 6 min.

Reduce speed to medium-low and beat in eggs, one at a

time. Beat in vanilla. Mix in the flour mixture just until

incorporated, fold in chocolate chips and chunks.

3) Using a 1/4 cup ice cream scoop or a large spoon, drop

dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet ( you should

have 24) and refrigerate 1 hour. Preheat oven to 350*

Arrange 6 unbaked cookies 3 inches apart, on each of the

two parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake until edges are

light and golden brown. 17 to 18 minutes, rotating sheets

halfway through. Transfer cookies to a wire rack and let

cool. Bake remaining dough using new parchment.
