I'm back to blogging! Sorry I've been away. It's not that I haven't been cooking, I just didn't think I came up with a recipe that was worth writting about. Actually I have, I just got lazy. But this recipe I just had to write about. This isn’t the greatest cookie ever, but this is probably the greatest cookie I’ve come up with. The cookies didn’t ooze out while they were baking in the oven. The texture came out great with that slight crackle, and they really baked up beautifully. I’ve made some modification with my basic dough by adding ¼ cup each of sugar, plus an additional rising ingredient. With three different kinds of chips - chopped toffee, bittersweet, and semi sweet chips, plus chopped pecans... it’s just a party in your mouth.
1 cup butter at room temperature
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
½ tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp cream of tartar
3 cups flour
2 cups mix of chips = ½ cup or so of heath bar, 1 cup bittersweet chocolate chips (I used Ghirardelli), ½ cup of semi sweet chocolate chips (Nestle)
1 cup raw pecan halves, chopped.
pre head oven to 375 degrees.
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
½ tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp cream of tartar
3 cups flour
2 cups mix of chips = ½ cup or so of heath bar, 1 cup bittersweet chocolate chips (I used Ghirardelli), ½ cup of semi sweet chocolate chips (Nestle)
1 cup raw pecan halves, chopped.
pre head oven to 375 degrees.
I took a two cup liquid measuring cup and filled it up with the heathbar - I used mini heath bars and chopped them up and they equalled a half a cup. A cup of the bittersweet chips ( I use the Costco bag of Ghirardelli, it rocks), and topped it off with a half cup of semi sweet chips (Nestle bag, also from Costco). Set aside.
Cream butter and sugars together until smooth, and eggs and beat until smooth and fluffy. Add the vanilla, salt, baking soda, and cream of tartar. Mix Well. Add flour one cup at a time and beat in until fully incorporated. Then add the chips. I measured out one cup of pecan halves, chopped them with a knife a few times. Not too fine, I still wanted there to be nut pieces in there. Then added that in as well, nut dust and all. Mix. Scoop with a cookie scoop or rounded teaspoon on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. 12 fit on a sheet nicely without any sticking after baking.
bake 9-11 minutes at 375 degrees. 10 minutes worked out perfectly for my oven.
