Submitted by Kathy

"I have trouble with flat cookies ( I blame the high altitude in Colorado), but I successfully achieved a thick cookie with this recipe."

 

• Ready In: 55mins
• Ingredients: 9
• Yields: 42 Big Cookies
• Serves: 42

ingredients

• 4 cups flour
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄2 lb unsalted butter, cut into 1 ounce pieces
• 2 cups dark brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons dark rum (don't leave this out!)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 24 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips

directions

1. Heat oven to 300.
2. In a sifter combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Sift onto wax paper. Set aside.
3. Beat butter and brown sugar 4 minutes on medium speed until soft. Scrape bowl.
4. Add eggs, rum, and vanilla. Beat 1 minute on medium speed. Scrape bowl.
5. On low speed, gradually add flour mixture (should take about a minute).
6. Add chocolate chips and mix 30 seconds on low. Use a spatula to finish mixing dough if needed.
7. Spoon 2 heaping tablespoons of dough per cookie onto an ungreased cookie sheet.
8. Bake 28-30 minutes, rotating cookie sheet once during baking. I bake my cookies about 25-26 minutes so they are a bit more soft/chewy.

Really good cookies! I also do not like when cookies spread and end up flat and crispy. On the other hand I have found others that are thick cookies, but turn out cakey tasting. These are perfect. Thick and chewy and LOADED with chocolate chips! Everyone is eating them up, I will have to hide some for later!! Made for PAC Spring 2010.
