LARGE BATCH CHOCOLATE CHUNK (CHOCOLATE CHIP) COOKIES (OAMC)

Steps:

• Preheat Oven to 325°F.
• In a VERY large mixing bowl or largest bowl of your Stand Mixer, add brown sugar, white sugar, and shortening. Cream together very well.
• In another large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set Aside.
• Add flour mixture and eggs alternately to the creamed mixture, mix well, scraping down sides of bowl as needed.
• Dissolve baking soda in the 4 tbs of HOT water. Add baking soda mixture and vanilla to dough and mix well.
• Stir in nuts and chocolate chunks.
• Drop by heaping tablespoonful onto an ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 325° for 15-17 minutes. I get 12 cookies to a standard sized cookie sheet.
• VARIATIONS/TIPS:.
• Nuts: Can use walnuts, pecans, macadamia nuts, etc. so long as you have a total of 2 lbs. I measure each type of nut used into it's own bowl, see reason below.
• Chocolate Chunks: I seldom use just the chocolate chunks called for in the original recipe. Instead I use a combination of 3 lbs of a variety of baking pieces, and put in separate bowls. Try chocolate chunks, semisweet chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, mini M&M's, vanilla baking chips, chocolate/caramel swirled chips, etc. so long as you have a total of about 3 lbs (about 4 - 12 ounce packages) I have already used a little less than 3 lbs when I just didn't have enough available.
• FUN TIP:.
• Before adding the nuts and chocolate to your dough, divide the dough into 2 bowls. Since you have measured out the nuts and chocolate (or variety of baking pieces)into separate bowls, you can now create a variety of cookie dough flavors. Add whatever combination you would like so long as you add approximately equal amounts to each bowl.
• FOR EXAMPLE: Divide cookie dough into 2 bowls. To first bowl add 1 pound chopped pecans, 1 pound chocolate chunks, and 1/2 pound butterscotch chips. To second bowl add 1 pound chopped walnuts, 1 pound caramel/chocolate swirled chips, and 1/2 pound vanilla baking chips. The possibilities are endless. Have fun with this!
• When I freeze the dough, I do use my food saver machine. I fill the food saver bag with desired amount of dough and flatten out slightly before vacuum sealing. This way the dough lays flat in the freezer to save space, and thaws more quickly. I take the dough out of the freezer and put in the fridge the day before I plan on baking.

CHOCOLATE CHIP CHUNK COOKIES

Steps:

• Combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
• In a large bowl , cream the vegetable shortening and the two sugars. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Gradually blend in the dry ingredients.
• Fold in the chocolate chips and the nuts. Cover and chill for 2 to 3 hours.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Drop cookie by teaspoonfuls onto shiny lightly greased cookie sheets. Bake 10-12 minutes and transfer to wire racks to cool. Take out of oven when lightly colored - they will darken after being taken off cookie sheet.

POTATO CHIP-CHOCOLATE CHUNK COOKIES

Steps:

• Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 375 degrees F. Put 2 heaping cups potato chips in a large bowl and add the semisweet and caramel milk chocolates; set aside. Put the remaining 3 cups potato chips in a resealable plastic bag and finely crush with the bottom of a measuring cup; transfer to a small bowl and set aside.
• Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda and kosher salt in a medium bowl. Beat the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on high speed until very fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, then add the vanilla, beating well after each addition until creamy. Reduce the mixer speed to low; gradually beat in the flour mixture until combined. Add the potato chip?chocolate mixture and beat until combined.
• Roll the dough into large balls (about 1/4 cup dough each), then roll in the crushed potato chips. Arrange 2 inches apart on 3 unlined baking sheets. Bake, switching the pans halfway through, until the cookies are browned around the edges but still soft, 20 to 22 minutes. Immediately sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Transfer the pans to racks and let cool 10 minutes, then slide a spatula under the cookies and transfer to the racks to cool completely.
