MangiaMore: MIXED chip cookies

RER 4.11.12

 There is never not a time for chocolate chip cookies, as they are one of the most comforting of the comfort foods. Hot out of the oven, warm and melty with ice cream, or cool and crunchy with a tall glass of milk. Chocolate chip cookies always induce smiles and happiness. Serotonin may as well be a main ingredient!

I used the recipe on the back of the Nestle Toll House Choco Chip bag, but of course I made it my own. Also, looking at the recipe for white chocolate chip cookies on their bag, I saw that there was cocoa in the cookie dough and thought it was a wonderful idea. So the recipes are combined…. Making them mixed chip cookies.

JAR 4.11.1

Combine....
2 1/4 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup cocoa

Cream....
1 cup (2 sticks) butter
3/4 cup white sugar7
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs

Once smooth, mix the dry ingredients with the wet, mixing in a little at a time...

Drop spoon fulls on baking sheet.

Cook in oven heated to 350 degrees, for 8 to 11 minutes, depending on how you like them. I found that they spread a lot so smallish dough balls become decent sized yummy cookies. So be careful and don't put them too close together.

What are your chocolate chip cookie recipe variations? I am always on the look-out, especially to mangia more.
