FOLD CHIP BAG RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375° and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.  In a small bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt. In a large bowl, using a hand mixer, beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until creamy.  Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add flour and mix until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips and nuts (if using).  Using a small cookie scoop, scoop cookie dough onto baking sheets at least 2” apart.  Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until golden. 

Steps:

• Combine baking wafers, butter, macadamia nuts, almonds and walnuts in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, and beat on low to slightly break up the nuts and chocolate, about 30 seconds. Add brown sugar; beat on low until butter and sugar come together. With mixer still running on low, gradually add flour and salt, and beat until incorporated. Add eggs, 1 at a time, scraping down sides of bowl after each addition, and beat until dough starts sticking to the sides of bowl. Scrape down sides of bowl again; beat on low 10 seconds more to evenly distribute nuts and chocolate.
• Turn dough out onto a large sheet of parchment paper, and flatten into an 8-inch square, roughly 1½-inch thick. Fold parchment paper to completely cover and wrap dough; place in a ziplock bag; refrigerate at least 1 hour or up to 7 days.
• Set a rack in the center of oven, and preheat to 350°. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Divide chilled dough into 14 equal portions (about 3½ ounces each); using hands, roll each portion into a ball. Arrange 4 balls of dough on prepared baking sheet, spacing about 3 inches apart (keep remaining dough balls refrigerated). Use palm of hand to flatten into disks, roughly ½-inch-thick. Bake in preheated oven 6 minutes. Rotate sheet pan as needed for even baking; bake until edges are browned but centers are still a little gooey, 6 to 7 minutes longer. Let cool on sheet pan 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack, and let cool completely. Repeat with remaining cookie dough.
