CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES - OUR AMISH GRANDMOTHER (GROSSMUMMY)'S RE

Steps:

• Combine flour and baking soda. Set aside.
• Combine butter, sugars, vanilla and pudding mix in large mixing bowl.
• Beat until smooth and creamy.
• Beat in eggs.
• Gradually add flour mixture.
• Stir in chocolate chips.
• Drop by heaping teaspoons, about 2" apart, onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake @ 375 for 7-9 minutes, or until barely lightly browned. (Removing them while they still appear unbaked is the trick to having really soft/chewy/moist cookies, so experiment with it!)
• Cool on trays a few minutes before moving to cooling racks.

MY MOM'S BEST CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375.
• In a large mixing bowl combine the dry ingredients and set aside.
• Cream together the butter, both sugars, and the vanilla extract in a kitchen aid free standing mixer if you have one. Once nice and creamy add one egg at a time until well combined before adding the next egg. Don't add the chocolate chips just yet, we'll save those for last.
• Now slowly add the flour mixture to your creamy ingredients. You want to have everything evenly mixed.
• When you have everything mixed well add those chocolate chips and mix once more, this step goes quickly if you have a free standing mixer.
• Grease two 14 X 17 cookie sheets.
• I didn't use a measuring tablespoon but rather one from our dinner ware set, but it's approximate to a tablespoon, I used that to scoop and plop onto the cookie sheet. No need to roll the dough or do anything fancy, just plop down 4 rows of 3 evenly spaced making sure that the cookies are not too close to the edges as they might spill over, better to get a little stuck together than to have them spilling in your oven.
• Bake for 10 minutes. You may want to set the timer for 5 minutes and check for doneness but no more than 10 minutes. We found that 10 minutes was PERFECT.
• Remove from oven and place on the counter to cool for about 2 to 3 minutes max before transferring to a plate. While the cookies in the oven are baking you can load up the second cookie sheet to have it ready. You should have a small container, I use a tortilla container that we got ages ago from tupperware to put the cooled off cookies in until I am done baking. Then I take all of those minus the ones on the plate and put them in gallon size zip lock bags to keep the air out and help prevent them from getting hard. Enjoy with a cold glass of milk.

MY GRANDMA'S BEST CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE RECIPE..

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• 2. Cream butter, sugar, and brown sugar until it is nice and fluffy (approx. 5 minutes on medium speed on a KitchenAid Mixer.) Make sure the mixture gets VERY creamy.
• 3. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat for an additional 2 minutes. Add baking soda, baking powder, salt, and flour until cookie batter is fully incorporated. Finally add chocolate chips and the walnuts until well distributed. The cookie batter should be somewhat thick. Drop about 2 tablespoons of dough or use a medium cookie scoop and plop the batter onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
• 4. Bake for 12-14 minutes until the edges are nice and golden brown. We baked ours for 14 minutes, just watch them. Remove from heat and allow the cookies to stay on the cookie sheet for an additional 2 minutes. Pick up the parchment paper with the cookies still on top and transfer to a cool non-porous surface. Allow the cookies to cool on the paper for at least 3 minutes before serving. It was hard to wait 3 minutes, but we listened to Grandma's advice :) it was so hard to do...but well worth the wait...
