Today, instead of coloring eggs, I made Yummy Chocolate Chip Cookies.

I make BIG cookies, similar in size to Mrs. Fields. Note the lemon zest and sea salt ingredients. I use chocolate chunks instead of the small chips. And extra large eggs work better in baking overall.

Don't you want one right now?

See the scoop I use to make the cookies. It is like a small ice cream scoop, holding about 3 TAB. of batter.

Lindy's Yummy Chocolate Chip Cookies 375 degrees


2 ¼ cup flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. sea salt
zest from one lemon


Mix in a small bowl, set aside.


2 stick real butter (1 cup), softened
¾ cup white sugar
¾ cup packed brown sugar
2 teaspoon really good vanilla
2 extra large eggs


Mix butter and sugars with mixer until fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Add vanilla then 1 egg, mix in, add 2nd egg and mix.


Then stir in with spoon:

Add flour mixture and...
bag of Toll House semi sweet chocolate CHUNKS (11.5 oz)
1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts, chopped big


Refrigerate about 30 minutes or more. This helps to make thick cookies.


Drop on parchment paper covered cookie sheets by a big levered scoop (maybe holds 3 TAB.each).


Bake at 375 for around 14 minutes (for my BIG cookies) or till lightly golden brown on edges. Let rest on cookies sheet for 2 more minutes. Lift parchment paper over to counter and let them cool a bit before serving. Makes 24 BIG cookies.
