Stephanies Really Good Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Cream together the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Dissolve baking soda in hot water. Add to batter along with salt. Stir in flour, chocolate chips, and nuts. Drop by large spoonfuls onto ungreased pans.
• Bake for about 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until edges are nicely browned.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and line two baking sheets with parchment. Cream the butter and sugars together until very light and fluffy, then beat in the egg and vanilla. Once combined, stir in the flour, bicarb, chocolate and ¼ tsp salt.
• Scoop 10 large tbsps of the mixture onto the trays, leaving enough space between each to allow for spreading. Bake for 10-12 mins or until firm at the edges but still soft in the middle - they will harden a little as they cool. Leave to cool on the tray for a few mins before eating warm, or transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Will keep for three days in an airtight container.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 375.
• 2. Mix flours with baking soda and salt in a bowl and set aside. Again, if you can't find bread or pastry flour you can use all-purpose flour.
• 3. In a large bowl, combine butter, sugars and pudding mix.
• 4. Beat until smooth and creamy.
• 5. Beat in eggs and vanilla; gradually add flour mixture.
• 6. Stir in chocolate chips.
• 7. Chill the dough for a half hour in the refrigerator.
• 8. Drop by teaspoon full on a non greased cookie sheet, flatten a little if desired.
• 9. Bake at 375 for 8-10 minutes. DO NOT OVERBAKE-bake until they look like they may not quite be done. They will cook further on the cookie sheet once you take them out.
• 10. Let sit on cookie sheet for 2 or 3 minutes, just long enough for them to be able to be transported to a wire cookie cooling sheet.
• 11. Parchment paper can also be used and placed on top of the cookie sheet if you find that your cookies keep coming out too crispy.

Steps:

• Mix the butter and sugar together using an electric whisk or hand whisk until very light and fluffy, then beat in the egg and vanilla. Fold in the flour, baking powder, chocolate and ¼ tsp salt as quickly as you can. Don't overwork the dough as this will toughen the cookies.
• For the best flavour, leave the mixture overnight: either cover the bowl and chill, or roll the mixture into balls and chill.
• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and line two baking sheets with parchment. Divide the mixture into balls, the craggier the balls, the rougher the cookies will look. If you want to give the dough more texture, tear the balls in half and squidge them lightly back together. Space out evenly on the baking sheets, leaving enough space between each to allow for spreading.
• Bake the fresh cookies for 8-10 mins and the chilled ones for 10-12 mins, or until browned and a little crisp at the edges but still very soft in the middle - they will harden a little as they cool. Leave to cool on the tray for a few minutes before eating warm, or transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Will keep for three days in an airtight container.
