I followed the recipe but somehow the cookies didn't come out the way I imagined them to be. My mistake was the first batch wasn't spaced equally, my tablespoon drops were big so when the cookie sheet came out, the cookies all got stuck together. I did a little better on my second and third batches. I don't have many photos to post because they look horrible! All in all, the recipe I followed yielded 14 big cookies (2-3 inches in diameter).
They looked better when they cooled, but I broke them in pieces so they could fit in my plastic containers. I promise to take better photos next time! The cookies were a bit salty in some bites, and a tad sweet for my taste. I had a couple of people say that as well. But surprisingly, most people enjoyed them :) Jay, as usual, finished everything I gave him and even ate some more. Best supporter ever!
The recipe I followed is from my baking class in Maya Kitchen, but here's a similar one you can find at the back of Gold Medal flour. I did mine minus the nuts.
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 egg
2 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup coarsely chopped nuts
1 bag (12 oz.) semisweet chocolate chips (2 cups)
1. Heat oven to 375F. In a large bowl, mix sugars, butter and egg. Stir in flour, baking soda and salt (dough will be stiff). Stir in nuts and chocolate chips.
2. On ungreased cookie sheets, drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls about 2 inches apart. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until light brown (centers will be soft). Cool slightly; remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks.
So I guess this one wasn't a 100% success. I'll give it a few more go's and hopefully they'll come out better next time.
