EVERYTHING CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets. Sift together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, mace, nutmeg, and cloves; set aside.
• In a large bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in milk and vanilla. Gradually mix in the sifted ingredients until well blended. Using a wooden spoon, stir in the cornflakes, oats, coconut, chocolate chips, and walnuts. Roll the dough into walnut sized balls, and place 2 inches apart on prepared cookie sheets; flatten slightly.
• Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. I found that slightly under baking these yields wonderfully chewy cookies!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325° and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium pot, melt butter. If desired, continue cooking to brown butter, about 5 minutes: Reduce heat to medium low and continue cooking, watching closely and stirring occasionally. Butter will simmer and foam, and milk solids will start to turn golden brown. Once vigorous simmering stops and butter is golden and smells nutty, immediately remove from heat. In a large bowl (or in your pot), whisk together hot melted butter, sugars, spices or extracts (if using), and salt until sugar is mostly dissolved and mixture is smooth and shiny. Let cool slightly, then whisk in egg until smooth and combined. Fold in flour and baking soda until just combined, then fold in mix-ins until evenly distributed. Scoop heaping tablespoons of dough and transfer to prepared pan. Bake until edges are golden and tops are set but still blonde, 11 to 13 minutes.
