Jumbo Chocolate Chip Cookies

What’s better than a warm chocolate chip cookie?  How about  warm jumbo chocolate chip cookies made with butter and maxi-size chocolate chips.  This is my go to chocolate chip cookie recipe.

At the top of my list of “favorite foods”  would be cookies.  They are the perfect food.  Need a quick snack?  Just grab a cookie.  Cookies are easy to eat in the car while running around town.  They pack great into a lunch box or back pack.  Cookies are great energy while hiking.  My list can go on and on….

This cookie fits into the palm of my hand!  It’s a little more difficult to dip into a glass of milk.

Let’s make cookies

• Gather and measure all cookie ingredients.
• Whisk or sift flour, salt, and baking soda together.
• In a large mixing bowl mix softened butter, brown sugar, white sugar.
• Mix for 4 minutes!

• Add vanilla and eggs one at a time.  I actually forgot about this step while photographing.  The eggs just incorporate easier when added one at a time.  Mix until well blended.
• Add flour mixture 1 cup at a time.
• Gently stir in chocolate chips.

• Using a large ice cream scoop that holds about 1/2 cup dough, drop cookies onto a parchment lined baking sheet.  Note:  if not using parchment paper, there is NO need to oil baking sheet.  These lovely babes have quite enough fat in them not to stick.
• Bake for 14-16 minutes.  You want the center cooked not doughy.  Just don’t over bake.
• Allow to cool on baking sheet for about 5 minutes before removing to a cooling rack.

There was a time in my life when I could eat a few cookies dipped in milk before going to bed.  That was when I was under the age of 10!  Now I have to restrain myself.  I decided to freeze all cookies so I wouldn’t eat them.  I realized chocolate chip cookies are fabulous frozen!

No worries if you don’t want jumbo size cookies, just use a smaller ice cream scoop and you should get about 48 cookies.  Just note that cookies freeze very well.  So make a stash and always have fresh cookies in the cookie jar.

Recipe Notes

• Do not over bake cookies.  
• Pure vanilla is best.
• Milk chocolate chips or semi-sweet chocolate may bay be used.
• If using regular size chocolate chips add 4 cups.
• If making a smaller cookie, just add 3 cups regular size chocolate chips
• Walnuts are an amazing addition.  I like to add 1 cup coarsely chopped.
• Don't use margarine...it's gross and destroys the cookie flavor...unless you are dairy free.  
• A 2 tablespoon scoop may be used for smaller cookies.  Batch will make 48 cookies.
• Cookies freeze very well for at least 3 weeks...or more.  There are generally eaten within that time frame.
