Re: Cooking/recipe thread

This is not what I had for dinner (I went out last night), but I made cookie dough the other night using one of my dad's old recipes. It's a favorite of recipe of mine if I need a quick, easy gift for someone. Here's the revised recipe I used if anyone's interested:

1/2 cup (1 stick) of butter, softened
1 1/2 cups shortening
4 tsp vanilla
4 eggs
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
1 tsp baking soda
4 1/2 cups flour
2 tsp salt
An assload of chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 375̊F.

Mix together butter, shortening, vanilla, eggs and sugar until smooth (you can be an idiot like me and use a spoon at this point or save time and energy and use an electric mixer). Sift together baking soda, flour and salt in a separate bowl. Once sifted (or just mixed together, no need to be exact with that), slowly mix into butter mixture.

When all of your flour mixture has been stirred in, your dough should feel stiff and be somewhat hard to mix (you really ought to be using a spoon at the point lest you wish to break your mixer). If your dough isn't kind of stiff, you might want to add more flour because you it's probably too wet, and your cookie dough balls will melt and migrate toward one another in the oven, creating a giant cookie patty that is delicious but too large to be easily cooked/eaten.

Add chocolate chips. A lot of chocolate chips. Any kind will do, but I prefer semi- or bittersweet. Mix 'em into your dough.

Roll out dough balls to desired size and evenly space them out on a lined cookie sheet (I use parchment paper). You can press them down to lessen the cooking time, but it's fairly insignificant in the end. Bake cookies for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Eat, enjoy, etc.

Makes: damn near a million cookies (probably 8-10 dozen or more, depending on the size), and this is half of the original recipe.
