i have an awesome one that makes a thin/crispy cookie.

Dry ingredients:
1 cup AP flour
1/2c wheat flour
3/4c bread flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda

wet ingredients:
3/4c sugar
3/4c brown sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) melted unsalted butter, slightly cooled
1 egg + 1 yoke
1 tsp vanilla
2 tablespoons milk/buttermilk/yogurt (whichever)

8oz chopped bakers chocolate
4 - 8 oz chopped, toasted walnuts

combine dry ingredients well

combine wet ingredients (be sure the butter isnt too hot, it will scramble the eggs!)

add wet ingredients to dry, mix thoroughly
add chocolate and walnuts

bake for 13 - 14 minutes @ 375F

these never last long. theyre awesome. itll make about 3 dozen cookies.

This is my *simple* secret to making any cookies better.
Under-cook them. If the package or recipe says bake for 13/15 min. only bake them for 10 or 11 minutes. They will look a bit under done, but they will continue to cook while cooling on the cookie sheet.
This will leave the cookies moist and soft.

These should be reasonably chewy cookies.

2 1/2 sticks butter
1/4 C peanut butter
1 3/8 C sugar
2 T honey
1 1/2 C brown sugar
5 eggs
3 tsp vanilla
5 1/2 C flour
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
24oz choc chips

Bake at 375°F for 9-11 minutes.

To make the process quicker, I will make rather large cookies, around 10" in diameter. For those, the baking time is around 16 minutes.


Incidentally, brown sugar: Is there some ratio of molasses:sugar such that I could do away with buying brown sugar, and just mix (cheap) sugar and (cheap) molasses? I unfortunately don't have the prices in front of me (and I wish stores would have price lists available online), but I'd guess that brown sugar is quite a bit pricier per pound than regular sugar.
