CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Evenly position 2 racks in the middle of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. (on convection setting if you have it.) Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone sheets. (If you only have 1 baking sheet, let it cool completely between batches.)
• Put the butter in a microwave safe bowl, cover and microwave on medium power until melted. (Alternatively melt in a small saucepan.) Cool slightly. Whisk the sugars, eggs, butter and vanilla in a large bowl until smooth.
• Whisk the flour, baking soda and salt in another bowl. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients with a wooden spoon; take care not to over mix. Stir in the chocolate chips or chunks.
• Scoop heaping tablespoons of the dough onto the prepared pans. Wet hands slightly and roll the dough into balls. Space the cookies about 2-inches apart on the pans. Bake, until golden, but still soft in the center, 12 to 16 minutes, depending on how chewy or crunchy you like your cookies. Transfer hot cookies with a spatula to a rack to cool. Serve.
• Store cookies in a tightly sealed container for up to 5 days.
• For a Rocky Road Bar:
• Lightly butter a 9 by 13-inch baking pan. Make the batter as per cookie recipe and fold in 1 cup chopped walnuts along with the chocolate chips. Spread batter in prepared pan. Bake until the edges are light brown and the batter sets, about 45 minutes. Cool slightly and cover surface with 4 cups marshmallows and 1 cup chocolate chips. Broil at least 8 inches from the heat until marshmallows turn golden brown, about 2 minutes. (Keep an eye on the marshmallows, and turn the pan frequently--they go from golden to char in a wink.) Cool, cut and serve.

PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350º.
• Spray cookie trays with cooking spray. This recipe makes 36 cookies, and 18 should fit on a large cookie sheet. If your cookie sheet is medium-sized, only 12 cookies will fit.
• Mix flours, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl.
• In another mixing bowl, mix sugar, whipped peanut butter, light butter, egg, egg white, and vanilla in a bowl on medium speed.
• Reduce mixer speed to low and slowly add flour. Stir in chocolate with a spoon.
• Dip fingers in water as you form balls of an even tablespoon of dough and place on cookie sheet.
• Bake for 12 minutes. Ovens can vary, so check with a toothpick from doneness.
• Cool on a cookie rack.

CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in medium bowl to blend.
• Using electric or stand mixer, beat butter in large bowl until light and fluffy. Add white sugar and brown sugar and beat until well blended. (You should be creaming the butter 5-7 minutes until the texture and color are both light.)
• Add eggs and vanilla and beat until mixture is creamy and well blended. Gradually add flour mixture, stirring just until blended.
• Pour half of chocolate chips into the bottom of a large bowl and then add half the dough on top of the chips. Stir dough and chips together, then add more chips and more dough until all is mixed together.
• For best results, cover and place dough in refrigerator for 24-36 hours. **You can bake these cookies immediately if you wish.
• When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 and line cookie sheet with parchment paper or non-stick baking mat.
• Scoop heaping tablespoons of dough and roll into a ball and place on cookie sheet, giving each cookie plenty of room. Mine are usually big enough to get about 8 balls on a cookie sheet. Bake for 9-11 minutes until light brown on top and slightly brown around the edges.
• Note: alternatively, you can bake at 325 for 13-15 minutes for a paler, more gooey cookie.
• Cool slightly on cookie sheet. Transfer cookies to racks; cool completely.
