Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookie

What I consider the Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookie would not be the same for everybody else.

However, in my search for my ultimate I have narrowed it down to one of these two recipes.

Both are great!

"Give each of these chocolate chip cookies
a try and see what you think."

Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

3/4 cup butter
1-1/2 cups firmly packed brown sugar
2 Tablespoons milk
1 Tablespoon vanilla
1 egg
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1-3/4 cups flour
2 cups chocolate chips
1 cup nuts (optional)

Cream the butter and brown sugar together. Add the milk, vanilla, and the egg and beat well.

Combine the salt, baking soda, and flour and add to the butter/sugar mixture. Mix in the chocolate chips and the nuts (if using). Drop by spoonfuls onto greased cookie sheets and bake at 350 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes.

This Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe is supposedly Mrs. Field's original recipe. However I can't verify that. It's a darned good recipe though and loaded with walnuts and chocolate chips.

Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookie

1 lb. butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 cups brown sugar
3 eggs
2 tsp. Vanilla
6 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp. Soda
1 1/2 tsp. Salt
2 cups chopped walnuts
4 to 6 cups real chocolate chips

Cream the butter until extremely light and fluffy (do not melt). Add the sugar slowly to the butter while still mixing. Add the eggs and vanilla.

Sift the dry ingredients together. Add to the creamed mixture and mix well. Add nuts and chips. Cover cookie sheets with parchment paper. Drop by spoonfuls or if you prefer the large cookies, use an ice cream scoop. Bake at 350 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown.

Be sure to use real butter and the extra chocolate chips. The parchment paper can be used for the entire batch by just wiping off the crumbs.

This Ultimate Chocolate Chip Recipe makes a big batch but don't worry about storage. They'll disappear fast.
