Chocolate Chunk Cookies
"From A Passion for Baking by Marcy Goldman. http://www.oxmoorhouse.com/product/cooking/traditional+cooking/a+passion+for+baking+.do
I am posting for safe keeping. I saw the recipe in Dec., 2007 Family Magazine. The recipe states "These morsels are tender and wonderfully buttery tasting, with crisp edges, chewy centers, and gooey chocolate. If you want them doubly rich, with molten chocolate chunks studding the cookie landscape, use freshly chopped semisweet chocolate. Large cookies bake up into crinkly, dense, chewy cookies; smaller ones are more delicate and tender-crisp.""

3 dozen
ingredients
- 236.59 ml unsalted butter, softened
- 236.59 ml light brown sugar, firmly packed
- 118.29 ml white sugar
- 7.39 ml pure vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs

- 1.23 ml salt
- 709.77 ml chocolate chips, can use coarsely chopped semisweet chocolate
directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Stack 2 baking sheets together and line top sheet with parchment paper. (The author recommends double sheeting when baking cookies "so there's a cushion for even baking and no risk of scorched bottoms.").
- In a mixer bowl, cream butter and both sugars until very smooth, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add vanilla and eggs and blend well.
- Fold in flour, baking soda, and salt and mix well, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Fold in chocolate chips.
- For each cookie, scoop 2-3 tablespoons of dough and place on prepared baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart.
- Bake 10-13 minutes for smaller cookies OR 14-18 minutes for large ones.
- Cookies are done when they are just browned around the edges, are beginning to color on top, and seem dry to the touch.
- Let cool on the baking sheets.

Delicious! Made these during spring break with a house full of boys who gobbled them down. Used chocolate chunks, and 1 1/2-2T scoops of dough. I never have burned cookie bottoms so felt OK baking on parchment-lined single baking sheets. These did flatten out quite a bit, resulting in a chewy, buttery, delightful cookie. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

<p>I've collected recipes since I was a teen. After all these years I'm trying to get all my index cards and clippings, that still sound interesting to me, posted here so that I can find them and eventually make them! <br /> <br />I've posted some of my Mom's recipes. I regret not having paid more attention to my Grandmothers' cooking. They made some dishes that I miss and there were/are no recipes for them. <br /> <br />I have a wonderful DH and 2 wonderful sons. They are thrilled that I found this site since they directly benefit from it! Before finding 'Zaar, I was less of a cook and more of a recipe collector but now I try many more things and we're having more fun in the kitchen (at least I am)! <br /> <br />Thanks for all your ratings, comments and help in the forums AND for posting so many great recipes. You've enhanced my cooking skills and expanded my horizons! I've learned so much. <br /> <br />For fun, I also like to read fiction, travel, see movies and shows, shop (and I love to browse thrift shops and rummage/garage sales for cookbooks, etc.). <br /> <br />The discovery of a new dish does more for the happiness of mankind than the discovery of a new star Brillat-Savarin</p>
