Phoebe's Lost the Recipe but There is One Cookie Left!

Remember on FRIENDS when Monica begs Phoebe for her grandmother's chocolate chip cookie recipe? Monica wants to make the world's BEST chocolate chip cookies ever! When I got this recipe I thought if Monica were real she would want this one! This recipe came from a famous cookie baker. Follow his tips and recipe and see if your cookies are now the world's BEST chocolate chip cookies ever.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup butter
1 tablespoon vanilla
2 eggs, slightly beaten
3 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Step 1

Cookie Cooling Rack

Baking involves a bit of science and the best ingredients to get the tastiest results. Begin with real, unsalted butter and always use large eggs. Use only pure extracts and flavorings, never imitation. When working with the butter be sure it is at room temperature. Preheat your oven 15 minutes before using. Check cookies about 2/3 of the way through baking. If the cookies are not browning evenly rotate the cookie sheet. When measuring flour, spoon it loosely into the measuring cup and level it with the straight edge of a knife.
Step 2

Mixing Your Ingredients

In a large bowl combine both sugars with the room temperature butter. This will cream together. In a small separate bowl mix your large eggs, slightly beaten, with your pure vanilla extract, then combine these to the large bowl with the creamy butter/sugar blend.

In another bowl sift the dry ingredients and add this to the large bowl.
Step 3

Use an Ice Cream Scoop

Mix all together. The dough will be stiff. After you have all ingredients combined mix in your chocolate chips (and nuts if you are adding).

Line the cookie sheets with baking parchment or wax paper. Drop dough with a small ice cream scoop onto the sheets. Bake 10 to 12 minutes at 350 degrees. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack. This recipe will make 2 1/2 dozen cookies. ENJOY!
Step 4

World's Best Chocolate Chip Cookie

Now a word about the science of baking cookies. The heavier cookie sheets conduct the heat and make your cookies bake more evenly. If you use a light cookie sheet you will need to adjust your cooking time.

Using a cooling rack allows the air to move under the cookies to cool evenly and prevent your cookies from building moisture from underneath. Use a metal spatula to remove the cookies from the cookie sheet with baking parchment. If you used a cookie sheet with a non-stick coating, use a plastic spatula to lift off cookies.

Bake cookies on the middle rack of the oven so the heat circulates evenly. Oven temperatures vary greatly;use an oven thermometer to get an accurate reading, so the cookies will not be overdone.
