Chocolate Chip Cookies
Makes 6 servings
Three splurge items
improve these quite a bit: (1) the best-quality dark chocolate chips you
can find, (2) really good cookie sheets—the heavy, high-priced kind from
the household section of the supermarket, and (3) a wire cooling rack.
INGREDIENTS
|
|
1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter (don't toss the wrappers) |
|
|
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour |
|
|
1 cup old-fashioned (or rolled) oats |
|
|
1/2 cup Grape-Nuts cereal |
|
|
1 teaspoon baking soda |
|
|
1/2 teaspoon salt |
|
|
3/4 cup brown sugar |
|
|
3/4 cup granulated sugar |
|
|
2 large eggs |
|
|
1 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract |
|
|
12-ounce bag dark chocolate chips |
Preheat oven to 375°F (if you want them really crispy, jack up the oven
to 400°F). Use the butter wrappers to grease 2 cookie sheets. Combine
the flour, oats, cereal, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
In a second, large bowl, combine the butter, brown sugar, granulated
sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Gradually stir flour mixture into the
butter-sugar mixture. Stir in chocolate chips. Drop batter by rounded
Tablespoons, not teaspoons (I like to use a small ice cream scoop),
about 2 inches apart onto prepared pans. Bake until light golden brown,
10 to 12 minutes. Use a spatula to remove cookies to a wire rack to
cool.
