The Verdict is in...Classic Chocolate Chunk!







After asking my brother his preference...Classic Chocolate Chunk it is!
Notice my little glass of milk and his much larger glass...
In case anyone wants the recipe, I've adapted it from Ina Garten
1 cup unsalted butter at room temp
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 extra large eggs at room temp
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 scant tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp salt
1 1/4 pound semisweet chocolate chunks (lots of very good quality)
1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts (optional)
Preheat oven to 350F
Cream the butter and two sugars until light and fluffy in the bowl of an electric mixer. add the vanilla then the eggs, one at a time, mixing well. Sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt and add to the butter with the mixer on low speed, mixing only until combined. Fold in the chocolate.
Drop the dough using a med ice cream scoop (1 3/4 in diameter). Bake for exactly 15 minutes (the cookies will seem underdone). Cool and enjoy!
