Chocolate Chip Cookies

OH MY GOODNESS!!! I made these cookies a week ago and they were really good! I added pecans, coconut, and coffee, along with the chocolate chips. I tried to make some today and a DISASTER!!! I put in 1-1/4 cup of flour instead of 2-1/4 cup!! A cup of flour short!!!!AHHHHHH!!! Well now Jason and I have some very flat buttery cookie crumble to put in ice cream.

2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
2 cups (12-oz. pkg.) HERSHEY'S SPECIAL DARK Chocolate Chips or HERSHEY'S Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
1 cup chopped nuts(optional)

1. Heat oven to 375°F.

2. Stir together flour, baking soda and salt. Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla in large bowl with mixer until creamy. Add eggs; beat well. Gradually add flour mixture, beating well. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts, if desired. Drop by rounded teaspoons onto ungreased cookie sheet.

3. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool slightly; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely. About 5 dozen cookies.

PAN RECIPE: Spread batter in greased 15-1/2x10-1/2x1-inch jelly-roll pan. Bake at 375°F. 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool completely; cut into bars. About 4 dozen bars.

HERSHEY'S "PERFECTLY CHOCOLATE" CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES: Simply add 1/3 cup HERSHEY'S Cocoa to your favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe.

SKOR & CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES: Use 1 cup finely chopped SKOR bars and 1 cup HERSHEY'S SPECIAL DARK Chocolate Chips or HERSHEY'S Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips in place of 2 cups chocolate chips; omit nuts. Drop and bake as directed.

ICE CREAM SANDWICH: Press one small scoop vanilla ice cream between two cookies.

HIGH ALTITUDE DIRECTIONS (classic cookies):
- Increase flour to 2-2/3 cups.
- Decrease baking soda to 3/4 teaspoon.
- Decrease granulated sugar to 2/3 cup.
- Decrease packed light brown sugar to 2/3 cup.
- Add 1/2 teaspoon water with flour.

  1. ummm... I just got home from work after hearing the disaster story of these cookies and I have to say that they're still delicious! They look a bit different, but I'm thinking that we can crumble them up and roll ice cream balls in them.

    If only they were a cup of butter short and still tasted this good!
