I need a recipe for chocolate chip cookies?!
Answers: it would preferably include brown sugar. thanks!
This recipe is amazing; I made it for my boss when he was out for surgery and took the rest to my office -- they were gone in no time. (Note: the recipe makes 72 cookies, so be sure to halve it if needed.)
4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 cups butter, softened
1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
2 (3.4 ounce) packages instant vanilla pudding mix
4 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 cups semisweet chocolate chips
2 cups chopped walnuts (optional)
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Sift together the flour and baking soda, set aside.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar. Beat in the instant pudding mix until blended. Stir in the eggs and vanilla. Blend in the flour mixture. Finally, stir in the chocolate chips and nuts. Drop cookies by rounded spoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.
3. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven. Edges should be golden brown.

One of the best, and easiest I might add, chocolate chip recipes can be found right on the side of a bag of Nestle Toll Housde Chocolate Chips. They are great! I even prefer them to my family recipe, sorry Grandma...

Note
Mexican vanilla extract can be found in Mexican grocery stores. If you can't find it, feel free to substitute regular vanilla extract.
The best chocolate chip cookie recipe of all time in my opinion is the Nestle Toll House recipe. Just buy a bag and the recipe is on the back.
As you can see there are many, many good recipes available. Pick one, or if time is a concern take a short cut.
1 box of cake mix, (white, yellow or chocolate, you could even try another kind like spice cake.)
add 1 egg
and then add 1/2 cup of shortening- butter, oil or solid shortening, even cream cheese.
You can add some brown sugar if you wish.
Add a bag of chocolate chips and nuts.
Mix and use as cookie dough.
you are set to go.
Bake at 350 10-12 minutes depending on size.
Take this further and you can imagine the possibilities. One of my son's favorites is to use a Red Velvet Cake Mix and add in a bag of Heath Toffee chips.
Good Luck with your cookies.
