This is one of those recipes that is famous within the family. No one can make these as good as my sister-in-law Leslie. So why try?
I have grown up eating a dessert almost every day of my life. My Mom was a wonderful baker and my wife is an awesome baker. I am a lucky guy. Now I have a little battle with age and a waistline that I have to watch – bummer! All that means is that I don’t have a dessert every day anymore. A small concession.
Giving a little preview of the result, the responses were pretty darn favorable. I used a mixer to make these. I was told, after the fact, that Leslie mixes these by hand. You have to be strong to do that. Bottom line is if you have a great recipe, the result is destined to be good.
Recipe
Leslie’s Chocolate Cookies:
Ingredients:
- 2 sticks of butter, room temperature
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 cup white sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 3 cups flour
- 1 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1 12 oz bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 3 small heath bars cut in 1/3’s (I stuffed some of the cookies with these bars)
Bake for 8 – 10 minutes at 350 degrees. The cookies are done when the edges brown and the cookie is just turning brown.
Let cool for 10 – 15 minutes after the cookies come out of the oven, then move to a cooling rack. Enjoy!
