Toll House Cookies Converted to GFree!

Who doesn't love a toll house cookie!?!  The classic recipe has been around since the 30's and I haven't been able to have one in years.  So I tried the recipe with our Bistro Blend Flour yesterday, then had 6 cookies because I couldn't stop eating them.  They were fantastic and authentic!  I figured that I could have one for every mile I ran yesterday.

How I went about it...

The recipe is on the back of the bag, as you probably remember.

Here is the recipe link, too: http://www.verybestbaking.com/recipes/specialty/nth-detail-occc.aspx

Ingredients

• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour


• 1 teaspoon baking soda


• 1 teaspoon salt


• 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened


• 3/4 cup granulated sugar


• 3/4 cup packed brown sugar


• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract


• 2 large eggs


• 2 cups (12-oz. pkg.) NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels


• 1 cup chopped nuts

PREHEAT oven to 375° F.

COMBINE flour, baking soda and salt in small bowl. Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract in large mixer bowl until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in morsels and nuts. Drop by rounded tablespoon onto ungreased baking sheets.

BAKE for 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.

PAN COOKIE VARIATION: Grease 15 x 10-inch jelly-roll pan. Prepare dough as above. Spread into prepared pan. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool in pan on wire rack. Makes 4 dozen bars.

• Exchanged the All-Purpose Flour in the recipe 1:1 for the Bistro Blend GF Flour (www.theglutenfreebistro.com)


• Used the High Altitude Baking instructions because I live at 6,200 feet


• Reduced the oven temp to 350 and baked for 15 minutes

I did drop cookies at the time I made the dough, and then wrapped the rest in parchment so I could hand them off to my friend.  The dough also works as an ice box cookie, to be sliced and baked whenever you would like fresh cookies.  The batch makes 5 dozen cookies.   They are sooo good.  You won't be disappointed.
