Sally Ayottes South Pole Chocolate Chip Cookies Antarctica Recipes

SALLY AYOTTE'S SOUTH POLE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES (ANTARCTICA)

Steps:

• First, cream the butter and the two kinds of sugar:.
• Now add the eggs and the vanilla.
• In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda and salt. Then add to the sugar/butter/egg mixture and blend until a soft dough forms.
• Add the chips and the chopped nuts.
• Drop the dough by teaspoons onto a baking sheet, about two inches apart. The recipe doesn't say to grease the baking sheet, but my cookies stuck pretty badly so I would definitely put a little butter on the pan next time I make these.
• Bake at 375 degrees for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the bottom edges are lightly browned.

DOUBLE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Over a pot filled with 2-inches of simmering water, place a metal or glass bowl and add butter. Stir until melted halfway and add white chocolate chips. Stir until just melted and remove from heat (don't worry if it separates); set aside.
• Whip eggs with sugar and vanilla with electric beaters or in a mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, until pale and thick, about 5 minutes.
• In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt.
• Whisk melted chocolate into egg mixture until incorporated. Whisk in flour mixture and stir in semisweet chocolate chips. Cover batter with plastic and chill for at least 4 hours before baking.
• Preheat oven to 325°F Spoon cookie dough by tablespoonfuls (or teaspoonfuls for dainty cookies) and roll gently to shape into a ball and place on a parchment-lined or greased cookie sheet, leaving 2-inches between cookies.
• Bake for 18-20 minutes. To test doneness, lift a cookie off the tray - if it comes off cleanly, then cookies are done.
• For reverse double chocolate chip cookies:.
• Prepare the same recipe as above, except replace 8 ounces of white chocolate with 10 ounces of bittersweet chocolate and increase sugar to 1 1/2 cups. Prepare remaining recipe as above and enjoy!
