Wookie Cookies

Here they finally are, by popular request:

Ingredients
  • 2 and 1/4 cup white flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1.5 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 375.
Put flour, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon in a medium-sized bowl and whisk together until fully incorporated. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the soft butter, brown, and white sugars together until completely blended. I used to do this in the blender, but the mixture gets too runny and the cookies come out flat if you do this. If you use a fork or whisk, the batter stays stiffer, which makes for better cookies. Make sure your butter is soft. If it isn't, you'll be really frustrated.
Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract.
Add the flour mixture and mix completely. Add the 2 cups of chocolate chips and stir in.
If it looks like the batter is too runny (it shouldn't be, but if it is), you can go ahead and refrigerate it for an hour or two.
Drop the dough onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper (or a greased cookie sheet).
Bake for about 10 minutes, or until golden brown.
Eat them. Makes about 3 dozen.

Thoughts: These are awesome. There's nothing else to say about them. Try them. You'll like them.
