Shea's favorite Cookie might just be Mine!

I was going thru my cookbooks and came across one that I had forgotten I had.  I received it for Christmas last year and for some reason it got pushed to the back.  It's such a lovely cookbook 'Around the Table by Shea McGee'.  It's full of recipes but it's also full of the rooms that she decorates.  If you aren't familiar with her, give her a search - her style is 'New Heritage' which is a bit modern, a bit traditional, a bit farmhouse but always warm and inviting.  For me, the first thing I try in a new cookbook is the chocolate chip cookie.  This cookie is very good!  It seemed to be a bit more involved than some others but the result is worth the extra time.  Absolutely a keeper!

Let's bake. . .

Shea's Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie

Cream together using the paddle attachment if you're using a stand mixer.  
Mix for 5 minutes 
1 c. unsalted butter, room temp
1 c. packed b.sugar
3/4 c. sugar

Add in beating between additions until smooth
1 tbsp vanilla
2 eggs

In a medium bowl, add in
3 1/4 c. flour (spooned into the measuring cup)
2 tsp. b. powder
1 tsp. b. soda
1 1/2 tsp. salt (I used sea salt, recipe called for kosher)
1 1/2 c. chocolate chips
1 1/4 c. chocolate chunks*

*recipe called for 1 1/4 c. chopped dark chocolate, 1 1/2 c. semi sweet chips but the above is what I used

Slowly add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, using small bursts so the flour doesn't spray.

Using a cookie scoop or drop by the spoonful and place about 2" apart.

Bake at 375 for about 8 minutes until lightly golden.  Baking time will vary depending on the size of your cookie.

Enjoy
