Notes

The Old Baker’s "One Step" Chocolate Chip Cookies

 
  • 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sifted flour (140 grams)
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup granulated sugar (100 grams)
  • ¼ cup firmly packed brown sugar (50 grams)
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup soft butter or shortening or a mix of both
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • ½ cup chopped nuts
  • 1 package Baker’s Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips (1 cup)
 
Measure flour, add soda and salt, and sift into mixing bowl. Add sugars, egg, and shortening (or butter, or a mix of the two). Add vanilla, then mix well-about 1 minute. Stir in nuts and chocolate chips. Drop from teaspoon to ungreased baking sheet, 2 inches apart. Bake at 375 degrees F. for 10-12 minutes. The old recipe says it makes 48. I used a medium size cookie scoop and got about 18!
