Toll House Cookie Recipe
Description
This recipe starts with mixing the dry ingredients—flour, baking soda, and salt. Separately, softened butter and vegetable shortening are creamed with both granulated and packed brown sugars to create a sweet, rich base. Eggs are added one at a time along with vanilla extract to infuse flavor and texture.
The dry ingredients are gradually incorporated into the wet mixture, followed by folding in the chocolate chips and optional nuts. Dough balls about 1 1/2 tablespoons are placed on an ungreased or lined cookie sheet and baked at 375°F until the edges turn golden, approximately 12 minutes.
The result is traditional Toll House cookies with a familiar, comforting flavor and pleasant texture, suitable for family baking or treats. Nutritional information varies by ingredients used, and nuts can be omitted for preference.
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour 270 g
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup butter 113 g, softened
- 1/2 cup vegetable shortening 92 g
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar 160 g, packed
- 2 egg large
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips 297 g
- 1 cup nuts 114 g, chopped, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375ºF.
- In a bowl, combine the flour, baking soda and salt.
- In a large bowl, or the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together the butter, shortening, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Add in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla.
- Gradually beat in the flour mixture. Stir in the chocolate chips and the nuts, if using.
- Form into balls about 1 1/2 tablespoons of dough each. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet or a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or a silpat liner.
- Bake in the preheated oven just until golden on the edges, about 12 minutes.
Notes
- Mix ingredients thoroughly but avoid overmixing once flour is added to maintain cookie texture.
- Use softened butter for proper creaming and texture; do not melt it.
- Optionally add chopped nuts for additional texture and flavor; omit if preferred.
- Bake until edges are just golden to keep centers tender; baking times may vary slightly by oven.
- Nutrition information is approximate and depends on specific brand ingredients and optional nuts.
