CHOCOLATE CHIP-CHERRY CHUNK COOKIES
My grandmas and mom created this recipe with chocolate chips, cherries and spices, a combo of their favorite parts of different cookies. Then dad made ice cream to turn them into ice cream sandwiches. We'd eat these sandwiches in the summer heat, each bite cooling us as the ice cream melted down our arms. -Wade Rouse, Fennville, Michigan.

LARGE BATCH CHOCOLATE CHUNK (CHOCOLATE CHIP) COOKIES (OAMC)
I've been making these cookies for over 20 years. I found this recipe in an old Service League Cookbook from the 1950's. The recipe was originally contributed by the Green Bay Day Nursery, and gently tweaked over the years. I can't begin to tell you how many people have asked for the recipe. The cookies do not spread much resulting in a nice thick drop cookie. Because of the large volume of cookie dough this produces, I use my KA Stand Mixer to prepare the dough and just mix the extras in by hand with a sturdy wooden spoon. This dough freezes very well, and can be halved successfully if desired. Don't be intimidated by the long directions as the dough itself is extremely easy, I have added Variations and Fun Tips which make the instructions seem longer. I hope you enjoy these as much as we do.

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.

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.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your cookies.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
- Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies at a high temperature. This will help them develop a crispy exterior and a chewy interior.
- Don't overbake the cookies. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before enjoying them. This will allow the flavors to develop fully.
Conclusion:
Chocolate chip chunk cookies are a classic dessert that is loved by people of all ages. They're easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With these tips, you can make the perfect chocolate chip chunk cookies every time.
