Welcome to the 1st post of the 3squares blog! Me and my homie, PassYouBy, need a place to send recipes to each other.
This recipe was born of desperation. The circumstances surrounding the desperation have escaped me, but tonight I needed a cookie to be able to face work tomorrow, not that I'd EVER eat for stress or comfort.
5 minute desperation cookie
makes 12-15 large cookies
1 stick cold unsalted butter, sliced into 4-5 pieces
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 jumbo egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional but good)
1 1/4 cups unsifted flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup (or a little more) chocolate chips, or any chips you have around
Preheat oven to 35o. Use parchment on cookie sheets, or Silpats, or just take your chances.
Put the steel blade in the bowl of a food processor. This recipe is all about speed. Add the butter and sugars. Pulse until mixed. Add the egg and vanilla extract. Pulse long enough to mix.
Add the dry ingredients, except chips. Pulse till mixed. Swirl around with a spatula, then add the chips. Blast for a couple seconds till mixed.
On large prepared baking sheets drop heaping teaspoonfuls of dough a few inches apart. You'll get 6 or so per sheet. Bake until golden, 15-20 minutes. Let cool a few minutes outside the oven, then transfer to mouth or cooling racks.
