This is a really good chocolate chip cookie recipe I found after a bit of extensive research and several trials in the kitchen. They are pretty fantastic and the final product is a cookie that can easily be shared with 2 to 3 other people (I actually have eaten two in a single sitting, but then, I was also just complaining to Heather that I think I've never been fatter). Apparently this is a knock off recipe of the well-known treats from the Levain Bakery in Manhattan.
8 ounces (2 sticks) unsalted butter
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
3 1/2 cups AP flour
3/4 teaspoon Kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 baking soda
12 ounces (2 cups) good quality chocolate chips of your choosing (mixing semi-sweet with the milk variety produces good results)
1 cup pecans (or walnuts or macadamia nuts)
Next shape the completed glob of dough into a long symetrical rectangle and proceed by carefully dividing into 12 equal segments with a large knife. Roll each segment into a ball, which will roughly be the size of a cue ball. I can fit about six on my cookie sheet at a time and, if using a conventional oven, will bake only those six as a single batch at 375 for 19 minutes. Finish the second six. Share and enjoy.

I can give a testament to these cookies. They are very tasty, and very huge. I bet macadamia nuts would be extra good. I will have to try it.
One of the great pleasures in life.... fresh hot cookies (chocolate chip) and a large glass of ice, and I mean ice, cold milk. Ahhhh wonderful.
Seriously. The ice cold part really is key.
Um, I didn't mean to kill this blog with a cookie recipe. We can go back to talking about npr, mix tapes, fishing and Tom Selleck.
These cookies are really good though, so don't take this as an apology.
I liked the cookies a lot. I noticed the drought too and was going to post something, but my invite expired. Spano, where are you?
