Head Elf Madeleine's
Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • ½ cup butter

  • ½ cup brown sugar

  • ½ cup granulated sugar

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 large egg

  • 1â…› cups all-purpose flour

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon baking soda

  • 1 bag (6 ounces) chocolate chips

  • ½ cup chopped walnuts, optional

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.

  2. Melt the butter. While it is still hot, stir in the brown sugar and granulated sugar. Let the mixture cool slightly.

  3. Combine the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

  4. Add the egg and vanilla. Lightly beat the egg, then stir it and the vanilla into the cooled butter and sugar mixture.

  5. Make the dough by adding the butter mixture to the dry ingredients and stirring until just combined.

  6. Add the chocolate chips and walnuts, if using, and stir until evenly distributed.

  7. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for about 1 hour.

  8. Shape the cookies into walnut-sized balls and place them on an ungreased cookie sheet.

  9. Bake for about 10 minutes. Do not overbake. These cookies are best when they stay soft and chewy in the center.

  10. Cool briefly on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack.

Santa’s Serving Suggestion

Serve right out of the oven while the chocolate chips are still soft, preferably with a cold glass of milk.

​

And if Head Elf Madeleine catches you sneaking a little cookie dough before they make it into the oven, just remember: quality control is important at the North Pole.
