My nickname for my husband is Cookie Monster and that, my friends, is because he could eat his weight in cookies if given the opportunity. The base recipe I use is from Toll House, but I've adapted it slightly over the years to make the ultimate batch of cookies.
Tips:
- use an extra 2tbs butter and brown all of the butter in a pot on the stove. Let cool before adding to mixture
- Use 1c dark brown sugar and 1/2c white sugar instead of 3/4 each.
- use 2 1/2c flour instead of 2 1/4c
- use 1 whole egg and 1 yolk instead of 2 whole eggs
- Spoon into balls (I use a melon baller), place on sprayed cookie sheet, and refrigerate for 30 minutes before baking.
- If you're not using all of the dough at once, spoon into balls before storing (it's easier than spooning out refrigerated dough).
I hope your family enjoys these cookies as much as my family does!
