• ALEXIS'S BROWN SUGAR CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES Makes 50 four-inch cookies Alexis Stewart developed this chocolate-chip cookie recipe for her mother, Martha, when she was twelve years old. Unlike traditional, moist chewy cookies, this recipe produces very flat and crisp chocolate chip cookies. They will spread a great deal on the pan while baking. Use an ice-cream scoop to make evenly sized cookies. If cookies harden before you have a chance to remove them from the baking sheet, return the sheet to the oven for a few seconds to soften the dough for easier removal. 1 pound (4 sticks) unsalted butter 3 cups brown sugar 1 cup granulated sugar 4 large eggs 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1 1/2 teaspoons salt 2 teaspoons baking soda 1 1/2 cups best-quality chocolate chips 1. Heat oven to 375°. Cream butter until smooth; add sugars. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Sift together dry ingredients, and slowly beat into wet mixture. Fold in chocolate chips. 2. Drop 2 to 3 tablespoons batter per cookie onto well-greased baking sheets lined with baking mats or parchment; space batter at least 2 inches apart to allow for spreading. Bake until golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from baking sheets, and allow to cool on baking racks.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Blend together butter and brown sugar then beat in egg and vanilla.
• Mix together flour, salt and baking soda and then stir into batter mixture.
• Stir in chocolate chips and chill dough for about an hour.
• Use 1/4 cup measure to form large mounds. Bake 17 to 18 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Cream together the butter and the brown sugar.
• Add the eggs one at a time, then the vanilla.
• Add the dry ingredients until just combines.
• Using a spoon, mix in the chocolate chips.
• This is an optional step -- I usually make the cookie dough a day ahead of time, and leave it in the fridge overnight. I think it helps make the cookies more chewy, which is how I like them! Then when I take them out the next day to bake, sometimes I'll form the balls of dough, and roll them in chopped pecans before putting them in the oven. But these are both totally optional! The cookies are amazing either way!
• Drop spoonfuls of the cookie dough on a greased cookie sheet and bake at 400 for 7-9 minutes. BUT WATCH THEM! A lot of ovens will cook them too fast on the outside, and not enough on the inside. At my boyfriend's house I will bake them at 400 for about 4-5 minutes, then lower the temp to 350 for 4-5 more minutes.
• Let sit on the cookie sheet for about 5 minutes before moving them to a cooling rack. Enjoy!
