Thick-and-gooey Chocolate Chip Cookies



Thought I'd give chocolate chip cookies one more try. I liked this recipe a lot better than the previous one. My significant other is usually not a cookie dough fan, but he loved the dough so much that he volunteered to clean the mixer as well as the bowl. He did say he thought they would have been perfect if they had had nuts in them. This recipe is from New York Times Sunday Magazine.

INGREDIENTS

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons salt
2 sticks butter, softened
1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup sugar
3 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3 cups chopped bittersweet chocolate

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
3. Sift together flour, baking soda and powder, and salt.
4. Cream butter and sugar until fluffy, about 3 minutes.
5. Add eggs, one at a time, then vanilla.
6. Fold in chocolate then dump the flour mixture. Mix well.
7. Chill the dough.
8. Roll 1/4 cup lumps into balls and place on the sheets. Flatten to 1/2-inch thick discs spaced 2 inches apart. These will spread a lot, so give them plenty of space.
9. Bake until the edges turn golden, about 14-19 minutes.
