Chocolate Chip Cookies–Ghirardelli Style

I am posting the tried and true recipes for Chocolate Chip Cookies from the makers of our favorite chocolate chips. Ghirardelli, Nestle, Hershey, they are all good. Some of us like semi-sweet, some milk chocolate, some white chocolate, but they all make great cookies. 

Here is the Ghirardelli recipe for cookies:

Ghirardelli Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

Dry
2 1/4 C. all purpose flour
1 t. baking soda
1/2 t. salt
Mix together in a bowl and set aside

Wet
Cream together on medium speed:
1 C. butter, softened
3/4 C. sugar
3/4 C. brown sugar, packed

Add to mixture on low speed:
2 large eggs
2 t. vanilla

Change to dough hook, or cookie paddles and gradually add in the dry ingredient mixture.
Stir in:
2 C. Ghirardelli Bittersweet Chocolate Chips
1 C. chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Drop by tablespoon or cookie scoop onto ungreased cookie sheets. Parchment or silpats are a good choice too. 

Preheat oven to 375º (I don't bake my cookies that high, usually 360º as I like the middles done and not doughy.)

Bake for 9-11 minutes or until golden brown. 
Yeild: about 4 dozen

The Recipe File

It was impossible to visit with Nana and not get into the recipe file. This is no small file. Tracy, Sydney and I have all at one time or another attempted to typeset the recipes in this file only to be overwhelmed. Since no one person is up to the task of immortalizing this life's work of recipes, it would be great if everyone participates. As you need recipes for different things you can take them and typeset them, or scan them however you would like to do them. Then post them on this site to contribute your part in all this.  Please add a label to your posts so we can eventually go in and organize by category. It was Nana's dream to have a book that would help us all with the various things we will make in our kitchens. She spent a lifetime perfecting her craft and was truly amazing. When we feel we have done her justice, we will organize a book and have copies printed for all of us. I hope as we contribute not only her recipes, but some of our own as well we will remember how much she loved to bring people together over good food. It will be such a tribute to her if we can enjoy this endeavor, enjoy each other and enjoy the memories we all have in our hearts.
