Thick and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

Nothing is more classic than the chocolate chip cookie. This award-winning recipe takes that traditional cookie and makes it thick, chewy and uniquely flavorful with the addition of freshly ground nutmeg.

Ingredients

• 8 tablespoons salted butter

• 1 cup of packed brown sugar

• ½ cup of granulated Imperial sugar

• 2 eggs

• 1½ teaspoons vanilla

• 2¼ cups of all-purpose flour

• 1 teaspoon baking soda

• ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

• 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips (this is by weight = about 1 cup)

Instructions

1. In the bowl of your mixer, add butter, brown sugar and granulated Imperial sugar, and beat until it’s light and fluffy.

2. Add in the eggs and vanilla, beat to thoroughly mix.

3. In a separate bowl, add the flour, baking soda and nutmeg and stir to combine.

4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in the mixing bowl and beat to combine.

5. Using a very sturdy spatula or wooden spoon, fold the chocolate chips.

6. Cover the dough and refrigerate for 2 hours (optional step for an even thicker cookie).

7. Scoop a rounded tablespoonful of the dough and place onto parchment lined baking sheet. You don't need a lot of space between the cookies, since they don't flatten out. So space about 2 inches apart.

8. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

9. Place the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, until golden brown and slightly underdone.

10. Remove to a rack to cool completely.
