Sharron's World Famous Chewy Jumbo Chocolate Chip Cookies

Hi,

This recipe has never been published by me before, so here goes!  It is most definitely NOT low carb, gluten or sugar free.

Preheat the oven to 375F.

In a large bowl, combine:

4 1/4 cups flour (whole wheat pastry, preferred)

1 teaspoon baking soda

2 teaspoons baking powder

In a mixing bowl on medium speed, combine until creamy, about 2 minutes:

1 1/4 cups sugar (organic preferred)

1 1/4 cups firmly packed brown sugar

1 1 /2 cups butter, softened

Add and mix another minute or so till well combined:

2 eggs

1 tablespoon vanilla

Gradually add the flour mixture on low speed, fully incorporating each addition before adding the next.

By hand or with a paddle, add:

2 cups chocolate chips ("extra special dark" preferred)

Use 1/4 cup measure or scoop and place cookies approximately 2" apart on parchment lined baking sheets. Bake the cookies until they are just becoming golden. Remove them from the oven and allow them to rest on the pan for about 2 minutes or until they are able to be transferred. Spread paper towels covered with wax paper and place the cookies on it to cool. Store the cookies once cooled in air tight containers with paper towels or wax paper between the layers.

This is most definitely not a low carb recipe :)

Enjoy!
