The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies
Source of Recipe
the cookbook "The Best Recipe" by the editors of Cook's Illustrated magazine
Recipe Introduction
It's the best cookbook around and is easily available at a good bookstore or certainly amazon.com!
The magazine is also wonderful, and I understand they have a tv show called "America's Test Kitchen" which is on PBS.
List of Ingredients
1 cup white sugar
1 cup light brown sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon baking soda
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped pecans (optional) Recipe
In large mixing bowl, cream together sugars and oil. Beat in one egg at a
time. Blend in vanilla. Add dry ingredients in order listed, mixing after
each. Dough will be sticky. Refrigerate for 30 minutes
or longer for ease of handling. Drop by rounded tablespoon onto ungreased
baking sheet. Bake 8-10 minutes on middle rack in oven preheated to 350
degrees. Let stand for two minutes; remove to wire
racks to cool completely. Yield: About 5 dozen cookies Notes: (1) For best
results, bake cookies on a pizza stone. You may have to increase the baking
time to about 11 minutes, but do not overbake, as they will continue to
harden after removing from oven. (2) For uniform appearance, you may roll
dough gently into a ball rather than dropping by tablespoons. (3) Bake only
one sheet at a time.
