I know most cookie makers have a chocolate chip recipe they stand by,
just as I thought I did. But Christmas this year at my daughter's
found me not only doubting my own recipe, but forever replacing it with
hers. Much like I used to be with the tired and trues, she measures
nothing, she pretty much just cooks by any combination of memory, feel,
smell, looks and taste. I told her I had to have that cookie recipe.
She and granddaughter began to laugh with tell of the story that g-g
has spent the last three years watching her mother closely as she makes
them, so as to take note of what she imagines the specific ingredient
amounts are. Today she sent me the recipe, with assurance by both of
them that this will do. For very moist and slightly "coconutty"
chocolate chip cookies ever, the recipe is pasted exactly as written:
My Mom's Cookies
8 min. @ 375°
In one bowl, mix:
¾ c. white sugar
¾ c. brown sugar
1 c. butter
1 tsp. Vanilla
2 egg yolks
1-2 spoonfuls of Mott's applesauce
Mix
Fold in whipped egg whites
In separate bowl:
2 ¼ c. (+ a little more to texture) flour
1 tsp. Salt
1tsp. Baking powder
1 tsp. Cinnamon (more if desired)
Mix
Add in ¾ c. coconut
1 ¼ c. quick oats
1 ¾ c. (+ more if desired) chocolate chips
Mix all together and add flour if not the right texture. We don't know
how many this makes, it's enough for our family, but you can always
freeze some of the batter.
Love, Tiara
