All-Purpose
One cookie recipe I keep coming across when looking for fun recipes to try is just an adapted version of this recipe right here! Known as the Nestle Toll House recipe, it isn't as sweet as the other ones on this list. But it's incredibly consistent, which makes it perfect for experimenting. Bake these if you want to try adding something to the end cookie dough, like nuts or candy.
I used M&Ms once, and they came out great! This is the original recipe.
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups All Purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt —————
- 1 cup butter (in other words: two sticks of butter)
- 3/4 cups white (granulated) sugar
- 3/4 cups brown (packed) sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 eggs —————
- 2 cups "Chocolate Chips" or "Chocolate Morsels" or whatever it is you wanted to add last into the cookie dough.
Instructions
- Combine flour, baking soda and salt in small bowl.
- Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract in large mixer bowl until creamy.
- In the large bowl, add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Gradually beat in flour mixture into the large bowl. I found it best to add one fourth of the dry stuff at a time.
- Stir in chocolate chips (or whatever). —————
- Drop by rounded tablespoon onto baking sheets.
- Bake for 9 to 11 minutes at 375°F or until golden brown.
