Rick's bithday celebration isn't quite over since we all have today off for Columbus Day and we're going Pumpkin Picking at Miller Farms with a great group of friends. One of the specialties of the weekend was "Rick's Take on Tollhouse" cookies; this is the traditional chocolate chip cookie recipe, edited to Rick's preferences, and BOY are they delicious (and a bit better for you than the traditional).
Rick's Take on Tollhouse (makes about 2 doz large cookies)
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 1-3/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- /2 tsp baking soda
- 2 cups (12 oz) semi-sweet choc chips
- 1 cup walnuts
Drop rounded tablespoonfuls on lightly greased cookie sheet. Chill while warming the oven to 375. Bake about 8-10 minutes till golden brown and slightly soft. Cool slightly before removing from sheet. ENJOY! [BTW, did you know if you place a home-baked chocolate chip cookie on a plate and re-heat for about 10-15 sec, it takes just like fresh-baked? ]
