Nielsen-Massey Chocolate Chip Cookies



You all know by now that I am a sucker for chocolate chip cookies.  Therefore, I have a ridiculous number of recipes for them, and am constantly trying out new ones!  I tried two new ones recently.  The first was called The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies from Seriouseats.com.  Holy cow they are absolute heaven.  I tiny bit more involved, but I followed the recipe almost exactly and they may be our new family favorite.  They are that good.  The other recipe that I tried was this Nielsen-Massey recipe, which also turned out really well!  They are quick to throw together, and I actually didn't even use a mixer, I just mixed the dough by hand.  The recipe uses cream of tartar, which I've not seen in a chocolate chip cookie recipe.  These cookies are soft yet chew and a bit crisp at the edges.  Delicious!


Nielsen-Massey Chocolate Chip Cookies

1 1/2 cups (3 sticks) butter, room temperature
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1 1/4 cups packed brown sugar
1 Tablespoons vanilla extract
2 eggs
4 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips

Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, stir together (or use a hand or stand mixer) the butter and brown sugar until combined.  Stir in the vanilla extract and eggs until well blended.  Add the flour, baking soda, salt, baking powder, and cream of tartar and stir until completely incorporated.  Stir in the chocolate chips.

Form the dough into 2 tablespoon size balls and place on the prepared baking sheet.  Bake for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges and tops are light golden brown.  Remove the cookies from the oven and transfer to a cooling rack.  Makes about 48 cookies.

Enjoy!  -Cardamommy
