From a Hershey's chip wrapper. These are damn good and the recipe is college-friendly as long as you use a roommate instead of a mechanical mixer.

  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 2 sticks butter
  • 3/4 cup granulated (white) sugar
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar (make sure to pack solid when measuring)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups (12 oz) of semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 375 degrees F
  2. Stir together flour, baking soda, and salt in first bowl.
  3. In second bowl, beat butter, granulated (white) sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla in a mixer until creamy
  4. Add eggs to second bowl, beat well.
  5. Put contents of first bowl into second bowl gradually
  6. Stir in choclate chips
  7. Drop rounded teaspoons onto ungreased cookie sheet

Go to store.

Buy frozen chocolate chip cookie dough in a roll.

Peal back the plastic.

Eat.

Touche!

They don't call them test kitchens for nothing

In general, baked goods company product recipes are very good. This is particularly true for Nestle baking chips and King Arthur flour recipes. You can get them off company web sites. One favorite in my household is the Hershy Cinnamon Chip bag's recipe for oatmeal-cinnamon chip cookies.

I like the Quaker Oats "Vanishing Oatmeal Cookies", but with molasses substituted for some of the sugar. The Canadian site even has the recipe in French :-)

Too many chips

Rather than 2 cups of chocolate chips, try it with 1 cup chocolate chips and 1/2 cup butterscotch chips.

Or maybe even 3/4 cup chocolate and 1/4 cup butterscotch. After all, the cookie itself tastes good too!
