- .RH MOD.RECIPES-SOURCE CHOC-CHIP-4 D "12 Jan 85" 1986
- .RZ "CHOCOLATE-CHIP COOKIES" "Cookies like what Mom should have made"
- There is no substitute for chocolate-chip cookies,
- warm out of the oven, washed down with cold milk.
- This is Mom's recipe, and Mom's Mom's recipe.
- This is also \fINestl\z\(aae's\fP ``Toll House'' recipe,
- and the \fIJoy of Cooking\fR ``Chocolate-Chip Drop Cookies'' recipe,
- etc, which is no coincidence. This is the default recipe.
- This is not Mrs. Field's recipe. If you want Mrs. Field's, use a
- shopping mall; if you want simple, elegant, timeless chocolate-chip cookies,
- use this recipe.

- .PH
- .SK 1
- Preheat oven to
- .TE 375 190 .
- Sift flour, salt, baking soda together in a small bowl.
- .SK 2
- In another bowl, mix butter with two sugars, vanilla and egg until smooth.
- gradually mix dry stuff in with butter mixture. Mix in chocolate chips.
- .SK 3
- Put blobs of dough on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at
- .TE 375 190
- for 8\-10
- minutes.
- .NX
- \fIImportant:\fR double all proportions above (always make 2\(mu as much of
- these as the recipe calls for).
- Let's face it: small is beautiful, but big cookies are \fIbetter\fR than
- small ones. All the printed recipes call for teeny cookies, dropped by
- teaspoonsful onto cookie sheets (yield 50).
- My ``blobs of dough'' are golf-ball sized,
- which makes healthy 3\-4 inch cookies.
- .PP
- I invariably make these on the spur of the moment,
- and so usually nuke the butter in a microwave to soften it up.
- I also occasionally cheat and soften up the butter/sugar mixture a tad
- in the oven.
- .PP
- Try adding walnuts, macadamias, white chocolate, orange peel,
- butterscotch chips, or mint\(emall these are welcome variations.
- But keep it simple.
- .SH RATING
- .I Difficulty:
- easy to moderate.
- .I Time:
- 20 minutes.
- .I Precision:
- measure the ingredients.
