LARGE BATCH CHOCOLATE CHUNK (CHOCOLATE CHIP) COOKIES (OAMC)

Steps:

• Preheat Oven to 325°F.
• In a VERY large mixing bowl or largest bowl of your Stand Mixer, add brown sugar, white sugar, and shortening. Cream together very well.
• In another large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set Aside.
• Add flour mixture and eggs alternately to the creamed mixture, mix well, scraping down sides of bowl as needed.
• Dissolve baking soda in the 4 tbs of HOT water. Add baking soda mixture and vanilla to dough and mix well.
• Stir in nuts and chocolate chunks.
• Drop by heaping tablespoonful onto an ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 325° for 15-17 minutes. I get 12 cookies to a standard sized cookie sheet.
• VARIATIONS/TIPS:.
• Nuts: Can use walnuts, pecans, macadamia nuts, etc. so long as you have a total of 2 lbs. I measure each type of nut used into it's own bowl, see reason below.
• Chocolate Chunks: I seldom use just the chocolate chunks called for in the original recipe. Instead I use a combination of 3 lbs of a variety of baking pieces, and put in separate bowls. Try chocolate chunks, semisweet chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, mini M&M's, vanilla baking chips, chocolate/caramel swirled chips, etc. so long as you have a total of about 3 lbs (about 4 - 12 ounce packages) I have already used a little less than 3 lbs when I just didn't have enough available.
• FUN TIP:.
• Before adding the nuts and chocolate to your dough, divide the dough into 2 bowls. Since you have measured out the nuts and chocolate (or variety of baking pieces)into separate bowls, you can now create a variety of cookie dough flavors. Add whatever combination you would like so long as you add approximately equal amounts to each bowl.
• FOR EXAMPLE: Divide cookie dough into 2 bowls. To first bowl add 1 pound chopped pecans, 1 pound chocolate chunks, and 1/2 pound butterscotch chips. To second bowl add 1 pound chopped walnuts, 1 pound caramel/chocolate swirled chips, and 1/2 pound vanilla baking chips. The possibilities are endless. Have fun with this!
• When I freeze the dough, I do use my food saver machine. I fill the food saver bag with desired amount of dough and flatten out slightly before vacuum sealing. This way the dough lays flat in the freezer to save space, and thaws more quickly. I take the dough out of the freezer and put in the fridge the day before I plan on baking.

CHOCOLATE CHUNK AND CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Weigh and measure the flour, baking soda, and salt into a mixing bowl. Set aside. Place butter in the bowl of a stand mixer and mix on low speed until light, airy and creamy, 3 minutes. Meanwhile in a mixing bowl, combine both sugars, then, turn off the mixer and add to the butter. Turn on the mixer and continue beating the butter and sugar, 3 minutes. Add the molasses and continue to beat for 30 seconds. Add the dry ingredients, a bit at a time to just absorb the butter/sugar mixture, followed by the egg until just combined. Add the chocolate chips and the chocolate and mix just until combined. Scrape the outside of the bowl to make sure the dough is fully mixed. Chill for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
• Using an ice cream scoop, scoop dough and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Alternate the cookies on the sheet so they bake evenly and place in the middle of the oven to bake for 14 minutes.
• Remove to cool on rack.

CHOCOLATE CHIP OREO CHUNK COOKIES

• 3. Stir in the chunky oreos, chocolate chips, and white chocolate chips by hand. Drop tablespoonsful of dough onto a greased or lined cookie sheet.
• 4. Bake for 10-12 minutes, depending on size of cookies. The edges of cookies should just start to be turning golden brown.
• 5. Leave on cookie sheet for 5 minutes when removed from oven (this is important; as the cookies will fall apart if you move them too quickly). Remove the cookies to a cooling rack to cook completely. Makes approximately 15-20 cookies.

POTATO CHIP-CHOCOLATE CHUNK COOKIES

Steps:

• Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 375 degrees F. Put 2 heaping cups potato chips in a large bowl and add the semisweet and caramel milk chocolates; set aside. Put the remaining 3 cups potato chips in a resealable plastic bag and finely crush with the bottom of a measuring cup; transfer to a small bowl and set aside.
• Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda and kosher salt in a medium bowl. Beat the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on high speed until very fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, then add the vanilla, beating well after each addition until creamy. Reduce the mixer speed to low; gradually beat in the flour mixture until combined. Add the potato chip?chocolate mixture and beat until combined.
• Roll the dough into large balls (about 1/4 cup dough each), then roll in the crushed potato chips. Arrange 2 inches apart on 3 unlined baking sheets. Bake, switching the pans halfway through, until the cookies are browned around the edges but still soft, 20 to 22 minutes. Immediately sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Transfer the pans to racks and let cool 10 minutes, then slide a spatula under the cookies and transfer to the racks to cool completely.

CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES: THE CHUNK AND DUNK RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the sugars, salt, and butter until a paste forms with no lumps.
• Whisk in the egg and vanilla, beating until light ribbons fall off the whisk and remain for a short while before dissolving back into the mixture.
• Sift in the flour and baking soda, then fold with a spatula to combine. (Be careful not to overmix, as the gluten in the flour to toughen resulting in cakier cookies.)
• Fold in the chocolate chunks.
• Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes or, for a more intense, toffee-like flavor and deeper color, chill overnight. The longer the dough rests, the more complex its flavor will be.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Scoop the dough with an ice-cream scoop onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving at least 4 inches (10 centimeters) of space between cookies and 2 inches (5 centimeters) of space from the edges of the pan so that the cookies can spread evenly.
• Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges have started to barely brown. Top each cookie with a pinch of sea salt as soon as they come out of the oven, then let cool completely.
• Serve with a mug of coffee.
• Enjoy!
