While on vacation this summer I read the book "Chocolate Chip Cookie Murder" by Joanne Fluke. The author included several cookie recipes throughout the book. I want to pass this book on to my partner in the Used Media Swap on Zaar so I am posting the recipe here to try later. If you get a chance to make the cookies before me, please post a review to let us know how good they are. The author did not indicate the serving size so I guessed. I will update when I know exact serving sizes. Please note: Preparation time listed does not include dough chilling time.

Time 44m

Yield 36 cookies, 36 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups chocolate chips
3/4 cup butter
2 cups brown sugar
4 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups flour (not sifted)
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar (in a small bowl)

Steps:

  • Do not preheat oven yet - dough mush chill before baking.
  • Melt chocolate chips with butter. (Microwave on high power for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth).
  • Mix in sugar.
  • Allow to cool.
  • Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  • Mix in vanilla, baking powder and salt.
  • Add flour & mix well.
  • Chill dough for at least 4 hours (overnight is even better).
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees with rack in middle position.
  • Roll walnut-sized dough balls with you hands (this is messy, you might want to wear plastic gloves).
  • Drop the balls into the bowl of confectioners' sugar & roll them around until they are covered.
  • If dough gets too warm, stick it back into the fridge until you can handle it again.
  • Place the balls on a cookie sheet (12 to a standard sheet works best).
  • Do not flatten - they will flatten as they bake.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 12-14 minutes.
  • Let them cool on the cookie sheet for 2 minutes and then remove to a wire rack to finish cooling.
  • Eat and enjoy.
