Ok, I admit it, I have already broken a rule on week 1. But rules were made to be broken, right? I made myself feel a little bit better about already breaking a rule by rationalizing that this recipe was a tad different from how I usually fix them. I told myself that I was NOT going to make a chocolate chip cookie, but after seeing a delicious recipe on the back of the Ghirardelli bag of chips, I succumbed and made them anyway. I think the thing that made these cookies were the kind of chips I got. I bought the Ghirardelli 60% Cacoa chocolate chips. They are very flat compared to regular chips, almost like melting chocolate chips.
Here's the recipe:
2 1/4 cups sifted flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup butter....I used 1 cup crisco. Gives it a better "cookie" shape and you can't taste the difference. I usually do this with all my cookies :)
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
2 tsp vanilla extract...This is where I changed my recipe. I was out of vanilla extract and used almond extract. You can taste a slight difference, but not in a bad way
2 eggs
2 cups Ghirardelli chocolate chips
1 cup chopped pecans
Mix ingredients. I am not specific in what order to put things in. I usuallly do butter, sugar, then eggs. Then, I just throw in all my dry ingredients.
Bake at 375 degrees for 9-11 minutes.
They tasted pretty good and looked very lovely as well. Hope you like this recipe. 51 more to come!!
