Directions
Large Batch Chocolate Chunk (Chocolate Chip) Cookies (Oamc),I’ve been making these cookies for over 20 years. I found this recipe in an old Service League Cookbook from the 1950’s. The recipe was originally contributed by the Green Bay Day Nursery, and gently tweaked over the years. I can’t begin to tell you how many people have asked for the recipe. The cookies do not spread much resulting in a nice thick drop cookie. Because of the large volume of cookie dough this produces, use my KA Stand Mixer to prepare the dough and just mix the extras in by hand with a sturdy wooden spoon. This dough freezes very well, and can be halved successfully if desired. Don’t be intimidated by the long directions as the dough itself is extremely easy, I have added Variations and Fun Tips which make the instructions seem longer. I hope you enjoy these as much as we do.,Great recipe! Used it for a birthday gathering. Very cakey and not greasy. I loved the amount, perfect batch.,There is a major discrepancy here. 7 cups of flour to just 3 cups of sugar and only 2 tspns of vanilla extract is to flavour this entire batch of cookies? There’s no way that I can, in good conscience, waste this amount of ingredients or time on this recipe.

Chocolate Chunks: I Seldom Use Just the Chocolate Chunks Called For in the Original Recipe. Instead use a Combination of 3 Lbs of a Variety of Baking Pieces, and Put in Separate Bowls. Try Chocolate Chunks, Semisweet Chocolate Chips, Butterscotch Chips, Mini M&m's, Vanilla Baking Chips, Chocolate/Caramel Swirled Chips, Etc. So Long as You Have a Total of About 3 Lbs (about 4 - 12 Ounce Packages) I Have Already Used a Little Less Than 3 Lbs When I Just Didn't Have Enough Available. |
