BETTER THAN TOLL HOUSE COOKIES!

Better Than Toll House Cookies! image

These are my take on Toll House chocolate chip cookies; just better! They are my most requested cookie when company comes over! They are so good. The white chocolate has to be chopped fine so 1/4 is almost a flour, and the rest tiny chunks. The white chocolate 'flour' melts into the batter to impart a super nice flavour. You will get perfectly sized cookies using a tablespoon measure. I find a stainless steel one is perfect for evenly sized cookies. Don't pack or shape/handle the dough to keep them tender. Scoop out with your finger and dump on the cookie sheets. If you want thinner cookies for making ice cream cookie sandwiches, cut back the flour to 2 1/4 cups. If you have an old fashioned nut grinder, this is the best tool for chopping the white chocolate (so you get some 'flour' and the pecans so there is some nut dust to flavour the dough.

Using a tablespoon measure- scrape dough into spoon and flatten against the mixing bowl so you have an even tablespoon of cookie dough.
Use non stick cookie sheets or line with parchment. Leave 2" space between dough.
Bake for 8 minutes. Let cool a few minutes on sheet then transfer to a cooling rack. They will flatten as they cool.
These cookies freeze very well.

Tips:

Use softened butter for a chewier cookie.
Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking for a thicker cookie.
Add a pinch of salt to the dough to enhance the flavor of the chocolate.
Use a cookie scoop to ensure uniform cookie sizes and even baking.
Bake the cookies until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set but still slightly soft.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
