Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe
Andy Greulich’s Late Night Chocolate Chip Cookies
I wonder if the powers that be at Channel 9 know what one of their employees
does to make sure he doesn’t oversleep for the infamous “split
shift”: 4:30 AM and then back at 4:00 PM the same day. Well Andy Greulich,
Production, is that employee and what he does is bake cookies, and lots
of them. “I make these because everyone loves them at the station
and it keeps me awake when I have a split shift”, Andy told me. I
know this to be true because I’ve benefited from Andy’s late
night kitchen forays. Today Andy, Western Hills, is sharing his most popular,
a moist and crisp chocolate chip cookie. This should be perfect for the
Madeira mom who wanted a big batch cookie recipe to make with her little
ones. To answer her question about adding nuts, yes, you can add a cup or
so of nuts in with dry ingredients.
1 1/2 cups of butter flavored Crisco
2 1/2 cups of firmly packed brown sugar
4 tablespoons of milk
2 tablespoons of vanilla extract
2 eggs
5 cups of all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons of salt
1 1/2 teaspoons of baking soda
2 cups Nestle semi-sweet morsels (or more if desired)
Preheat oven to 375. Combine Crisco and brown sugar in a large bowl. Mix
well.
Add milk, vanilla, and eggs. Mix well. Mix dry ingredients, except for morsels,
in a separate bowl. Add to creamed mixture a few spoonfuls at a time making
sure the spoonfuls are mixed well with mixer before adding more spoonfuls.
Stir chocolate chips in with a spoon. Place on a cookie sheet in teaspoon
increments. Bake 6-10 minutes depending on how crisp you like them.
Let the chocolate chip cookies cool for a few minutes on cookie sheet.
