Halloween Chocolate Chip Cookies

I think the original Nestle Toll House chocolate Chip Cookie recipe is the best one out there. For Halloween, I baked a Halloween version with Semi-Sweet Chocolate and Orange Colored Morsels. I was so happy when I saw these morsels at Target. The recipe is simple and fun to do together with your family or friends. I prefer not to add nuts to my chocolate chip cookies, but if you wish add 1 cup of nuts when you add the morsels to the dough. I share the recipe below.

Yield: 2 dozen large cookies or 4 dozen medium cookies.

Ingredients
2 1/4 cups All Purpose Flour (King Arthur)

1 teaspoon Baking Soda

1 teaspoon Coarse Salt

1 cup (2 sticks) Unsalted Butter, softened and each stick cut into 8 pieces

3/4 cup Granulated Sugar

3/4 cup Packed Brown Sugar

2 Large Eggs

1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract

1 2/3 cups (10 oz. pkg.) Nestle Toll House Halloween Morsels

Directions
Heat oven to 350 degrees.

Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

In a bowl, combine with a whisk or spatula the flour, baking soda and salt.

In a whisk or stand mixer with paddle attachment on medium speed, mix butter, sugars, and vanilla extract until creamy, about 2-3 minutes.

Add eggs one at a time and combine until incorporated.

Turn mixer to low speed and slowly add flour until combined.

Fold in morsels and nuts if adding.

Use 1/4 cup measuring spoon or ice cream scoop and space cookies on baking sheet two inches apart.

Bake for 11 to 13 minutes or until golden brown. My cookies baked in 13 minutes.

Cool on baking sheets for 2-3 minutes and then transfer to wire racks to cool completely but be sure to have some warm with milk like Allen and me did last night. :)

Enjoy!
