Grandma Roles' Secret Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

I got a copy of the recipe for my Grandma's famous chocolate chip cookies. The recipe was handed down to my younger sister. She was the only other one that had the recipe until now. As they are my sisters favorite cookie of all time, she also helped my Grandma make them many times, so she knows the steps. Whether all steps are required or not is up to you, but this is the way Grandma did it.




You want to have the oven preheated to 350 degrees, so you may want to go ahead and turn it on first.

In a large bowl add:

1 cup butter (2-sticks) that is at room temperature (Grandma would always put two sticks of unwrapped butter in a ceramic bowl on her kitchen table - a common sight as she often made the cookies.)
1 cup sugar
½ cup light brown (golden) sugar
Mix the ingredients together.

Add two eggs (both the white and yolk)
Mix the ingredients together.

Add:
2 tbl water
1 tsp baking soda
Mix the ingredients together.

Add:
1 tsp cinnamon
½ tsp nutmeg
Mix the ingredients together.

Add:
Add 2 cups all purpose flour
Mix the ingredients together.

Add:
12 oz bag of Nestle Tollhouse semi-sweet chocolate chips
Mix the ingredients together.

Add:
1 more cup flour
Mix the ingredients together.

Put balls of dough on a greased air bake cookie sheet pan (my sister has updated to use Pam).
Push the dough into a cookie shape using a piece of wax paper.
Put in the pre-heated oven and bake @ 350 degrees for approx 15 minutes.
It makes approximately 18 depending on the size of cookie.
Grandma would package the cookies for taking places or simply keeping around the house by taking a rectangular cake pan and putting a layer of foil on the bottom of the pan, followed by a layer of wax paper. She would place cookies slightly seperated on the wax paper and once she has a single layer, add another layer of wax paper and add another layer of cookies. Once she had finished the number of layers she was wanted package she would end with another layer of foil. Keeps them good and warm when out of the oven and taken straight across town. If she had made more cookies than what the cake pan would hold she would simply pull out another cake pan and start the layer process over. Nothing like Grandma's Chocolate Chip cookies.
