Michelle Obama's Chocolate Chip Cookies
Wednesday, August 14, 2019
This recipe is special. It’s the recipe for Michelle Obama’s Chocolate Chip Cookies, but it’s also the one my great grandma used. I think the only difference between the two recipes is that my grandma used toasted pecans tossed in butter and Michelle Obama uses walnuts.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup pecan halves (feel free to use more) plus a teaspoon of butter
2 1/4 cups (285 grams) all-purpose unbleached flour (weigh for best results)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (114 grams) salted butter, softened
1/2 cup (96 grams) Crisco
3/4 cup (150 grams) granulated sugar (organic is best)
3/4 cup (150 grams) packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs**
2 cups Nestle Tollhouse (or whatever brand you like) Semisweet Chocolate Chip
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lay pecans on a rimmed baking sheet and toast for about 5 to 7 minutes or until they start to release their oil. Toss the pecans with butter and let them cool, then chop them up. Set aside.
Adjust oven heat to 375 degrees F.
In a medium size bowl, mix together flour, baking soda and salt.
In a large bowl with an electric mixer, beat butter, Crisco, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract. With mixer on low, add the eggs and beat on low just until mixed -- don't beat a lot of air into the batter.
