Ghirardelli Chocolate Chip Cookies

Wednesday, January 28, 2009



On Wednesdays we try to go to our Music Makers class, but since it was snowing, I decided to stay home. To entertain Josh (and our tummys) we made cookies. Josh loves to help me cook. He loves to help pour the ingredients into the bowl. And, if he's lucky, he gets to lick the spoon when we're done. Today's cookies are the Ghirardelli Chocolate Chip Cookies. I make them with the milk chocolate chips. Unfortunately, not all of the chocolate chips make it into the cookies :)
Ghirardelli Chocolate Chip Cookies

2 cups Chocolate Chips
1 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla
2 1/4 cup unsifted flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup walnuts or pecans, chopped (optional)

Heat oven to 375ºF.

Stir flour with baking soda and salt; set aside. In large mixing bowl, beat butter with sugar and brown sugar at medium speed until creamy and lightened in color. Add eggs and vanilla, one at a time. Mix on low speed until incorporated. Gradually blend dry mixture into creamed mixture. Stir in nuts and chocolate chips. Drop by tablespoon onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown.
