BETTY CROCKER CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES (1971-MEN'S FAVORITES #22)



Betty Crocker Chocolate Chip Cookies (1971-Men's Favorites #22) image

This is the Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe from the Betty Crocker card file system, and more specifically from the green file from 1971, which the recipe was classified as Men's Favorites #22. I have seen many, many requests for this particular recipe in the Recipezaar Question & Answer forum. I knew about the recipe (from prior requests). To be helpful, I visited the Betty Crocker website and used their search option to find it whenever someone else asked for it again. And I would just post the recipe in the Q&A forum again. Well, that recipe is getting more difficult to find (as it seems that, with improvements to the webiste, older recipes just get buried even deeper!). So I thought I would post the recipe here, to make it more accessible on the Zaar site, especially for all the fans of the Betty Crocker recipe card files. I haven't made these myself, so I guessed on the prep time.

CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



Chocolate Chip Cookies image

"Mary Bartz, resident cookie expert in the Betty Crocker Kitchens, is famous for these cookies." I found this recipe on a bag of flour over 15 years ago and have been using it ever since. I have adapted it over the years to fit our family; using real butter and 'milk' chocolate chips. It is the best chocolate chip cookie recipe that I have found yet.

Time 30m

Yield 42 cookies, 20-25 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups butter (three sticks) or 1 1/2 cups margarine, softened (three sticks)
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1 1/4 cups packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla
2 large eggs
3 3/4 cups Gold Medal all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 (24 ounce) package semi-sweet chocolate chips (4 cups)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°.
  • Mix butter, sugars, vanilla and eggs in a large bowl.
  • Mix together, and stir in, flour, baking soda and salt.
  • Stir in chocolate chips.
  • Drop dough by rounded measuring tablespoonfuls about 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheet.
  • Bake 12-15 minutes or until lightly browned.
  • Cool slightly; remove from cookie sheet.
  • Cool on a wire rack.
  • Just a note: I noticed that flat vented cookie sheets work best for even baking. I used dark coated, side-edged cookie sheets on some of the batches and was disappointed because the bottoms of the cookies baked faster than the top. I would think in that case, that lowering the temperature and keeping a good 'eye' on them would help if that is the kind of pans you have as well. ;) PS. The cookies in the photo were baked using flat, no-sided, vented cookie sheets.

CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES - BETTY CROCKER'S 1969 RECIPE



Chocolate Chip Cookies - Betty Crocker's 1969 Recipe image

My mom has used this recipe for 40 years now and it is the best chocolate chip cookie recipe I have ever had. The cookie is crisp around the edges and yet chewy at the same time. I will occasionally omit the nuts due to food allergies for those I'm feeding. I get alot of people questioning how all my cookies are the same size, I'm old school and will still use a teaspoon or tablespoon and my fingers to slide the cookie dough off the spoon. No need for fancy ice cream scoops if you don't want to. :) This will surely become a favorite of yours once you give it a try....

INSIDE-OUT CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



Inside-Out Chocolate Chip Cookies image

Meet the new chocolate chipper on the block. The Inside-Out Chocolate Chip Cookie is buttery, sweet, intensely chocolatey and studded with white baking chips for a fun twist on the classic. And as much as we love all that flavor, the texture of this cookie might be its greatest asset. It's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside--a combination that we consider the ideal cookie texture. The secret to achieving it? Using two kinds of fat: butter and shortening. An all-butter cookie will brown nicely but tends to spread (sometimes, too much). Shortening curbs that tendency to spread, so you get the best of both worlds: a cookie that's perfectly caramelized and shaped just right (not too flat or too round). So next time you're out of semi-sweets, but still want a chocolate chip cookie, give your regular recipe a rest. We don't think you'll be disappointed with this inside-out version.
