TOLL HOUSE COOKIE SQUARES RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
• In a small bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
• In a small saucepan, combine butter, sugar, and water.
• Bring just to a boil, then remove from heat.
• Add 6 ounces (1 cup) chocolate morsels and vanilla extract.
• Stir until morsels melt and mixture is smooth.
• Transfer to a large bowl.
• Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
• Gradually blend in flour mixture.
• Stir in remaining 6 ounces (1 cup) of chocolate morsels and the nuts.
• Spread into a greased 9-inch square baking pan.
• Bake 30 to 35 minutes.
• Cool completely.
• Cut into 2 1/4-inch squares.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F.  Line two cookie sheets with non-stick silicone baking mats (I highly recommend for best results) or lightly spray cookie sheets with cooking spray.
• In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda and salt and stir to blend.
• In another bowl, whisk the sugars, butter, egg white, applesauce and vanilla together until light and fluffy.
• Whisk the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients in two additions until the batter is very well blended. If the batter looks more “crumbly” than smooth, add just a drop of water at a time (ONLY if needed) until it smooths out.
• Fold in chocolate chips. Drop by level spoonfuls about 1 inch apart onto baking sheets.
• Bake 8 - 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, and let them stand 5 minutes before removing the cookies from the pans to cool on wire racks.
