This is my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe. This recipe will yield a lot of cookies and most often I roll the dough into logs, double wrap it in plastic wrap and freeze. When you need cookies, remove from the freezer and slice the dough, pan and bake.

Yield: about 4 dozen
1 cup ( 2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
2 cups dark brown sugar
6 Tablespoons granulated sugar
2 large eggs
4 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk chocolate chips
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 Tablespoon instant espresso
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
- Cream the butter and sugars with a hand mixer, 30 seconds or until fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla
- In another bowl sift (or mix with a whisk) the flour, bk soda, bk powder, salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the butter mix and mix until just combined and then mix in the chocolate chips and instant coffee.
- Drop onto a cookie sheet in 2 tablespoon scoops.
- Bake about 20 min or until just golden around the edges. I typically don’t use convection heat and will rotate the pans 1/2 through to ensure even baking.
