I found the most amazing book called Milk & Cookies. It comes from the store in Greenwhich Village of the same name. The premise is that there are only four or five base doughs, and then you just add different things: cranberries and white chocolate, walnuts, toffee... Kinda cool. Here is the vanilla base dough, she has you take out and knead, I do everything with a mixer. Here is the other cool thing, you make your own oat flour....
- put 2 1/2 cups old fashion oats in a food processor and grind into flour
2 cups all purpose flour
1 t baking powder
1 t baking soda
1/2 t salt
1 1/2c butter at room temp
1 c sugar
1 c light brown sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 t vanilla extract
This is the base, I added 2 cups semi sweet chunks and 2 cups/ 4 oz bittersweet chocolate curls. I used a mandolin to get the curls, but biceps have not forgiven me.
Preheat oven to 350
Grease two cookie sheets
Take ground oats and add the rest of the dry ingredients.
Place butter in mixer and beat for three minutes until light and fluffy. Scrape bowl often. Then add sugars beating until light and creamy. Add vanilla extract and eggs. Mix and then add oat mixture. She has you take out batter and knead. I've got things to do. I just use the mixer. Then add the chocolate.
Use an ice cream scooper and mark about two dozen cookies at 1 1/2 inces of dough in diameter.
Bake 15 minutes.n
