I don’t know anyone who doesn’t love these cookies. They fly out of our bakeries like nobody’s business. Bring them to a pot luck dinner for guaranteed “oohs” and “ahhs”.

This recipe makes very large cookies, like the ones we sell in our bakery counters. You may wish to portion them smaller (cooking time will remain the same.)

2 sticks (1/2 pound) butter, softened
3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups AP flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
6 ounces (about 1 cup) semisweet chocolate chips
3 ounces (about 1/2 cup) milk chocolate chips
3 ounces white chocolate, chopped coarsely OR 3 ounces (about 1/2 cup) white chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease cookie sheets

Cream softened butter and sugars until light colored and fluffy. Lightly beat eggs and vanilla; add to butter/sugar combination. Mix until well blended.

In separate bowl, combine flour, soda and salt. Toss gently with your fingers. Add this to creamed mixture and stir only until flour is mixed in. Stir in all chocolate, but don’t over-mix. Dough will be somewhat stiff.

Drop rounded scoops (about 2 heaping tablespoons each) three inches apart on cookie sheets. Press each cookie lightly with fingertips. Bake 12-14 minutes until lightly browned. Cool.

Makes about 24 large cookies
