Happy Christmas Eve everyone! Thought I would make my final Christmas cookies post before I start cooking for Christmas dinner tonight (our family celebrates on the night of the Eve with dinner and presents). With all the cookies lately, I decided to wrap it up with a classic, chocolate chip cookies.
I made a slight adjustment and added chopped toasted walnuts for texture, and for A. since she loves nutty cookies. These were extra chewy and soft, ideal to wrap up the weeks of Christmas cookies. Even her coworker Al. thanked me for them, so I'm sure chocolate chip cookies have a special place in all of our hearts. The big box went to her office, and I packaged a small take out box for Audgbodge along with her Christmas craft. Coincidentally, she's been craving for chocolate chip cookies, which made my choice perfect all around.
I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful holiday season with family and friends!
Chocolate Chip Cookies adapted from Martha Stewart
makes 3 dozen
2 1/4 cups AP flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1 tsp salt
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped walnuts, toasted
Preheat oven to 350. Sift together flour and baking soda in a bowl. Mix butter and sugars in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium speed until pale and fluffy. Add salt, vanilla, and eggs and mix until well blended. Mix in flour mixture. Stir in chocolate chips and walnuts.
Using a 1 1/2-inch cookie scoop, scoop two scoops of dough to form one cookie. Drop onto parchment lined baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart. Bake cookies, rotating halfway through, until edges turn golden brown but centers are still soft, about 12 minutes. Let cool on sheets on wire racks for 2 minutes. Transfer cookies to wire racks and let cool completely.
