Chocolate chip cookies.

I was in the cooking mood on Sunday afternoon, and craving a big chocolate chip cookie.
Soooooo... I decided to make some. But, I didn't want to make my usual Nestle Tollhouse recipe. It always turns out flat, crunchy, and not very pretty...
So, I went online to look for a recipe. After awhile, I found this recipe off of a blog.
I made the recipe and only changed one thing: I added 1 cup of butter, and 1/2 of applesauce, instead if the 1 1/2 cups of butter. I was so happy when I took them out of the oven! They actually looked like cookies (not pancakes!)!! :)
I hope you enjoy!



Chewy Jumbo Chocolate Chip Cookies
Adapted from inside the Land O Lakes Butter package

Makes 26 jumbo cookies

INGREDIENTS:

4 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups unsalted butter
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 1/4 cups firmly packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 (12-ounce) package (2 cups) semi-sweet chocolate chunks or chocolate chips

DIRECTIONS:

Heat oven to 375°F.

Combine flour, baking powder and baking soda in a medium bowl. Set aside.

Combine butter, sugar and brown sugar in a large bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping the bowl often, until creamy. Add eggs and vanilla. Continue beating, scraping bowl often, until well mixed. Reduce speed to low. Beat, gradually adding flour mixture, until well mixed. Stir in chocolate chunks.

Drop dough by 1/4 cupfuls, 2 inches apart, onto ungreased cookie sheets (tip: line the sheets with parchment, if you have some). Bake for 10 to 14 minutes or until light golden brown. (Do not overbake.) Let stand 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from cookie sheets.
