Wookie Cookies

Ingredients

• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup milk chocolate chips
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 375º. Put the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a mixing bowl.

2. 2

   Stir with the wooden spoon until well mixed. Set aside.

3. 3

   Put the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in another mixing bowl. Using the electric mixer set on high speed, beat together until well blended and creamy, about 3 minutes.

4. 4

   Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract. Add the flour mixture and stir with the wooden spoon until blended. Stir in the chocolate chips.

5. 5

   Scoop up a rounded tablespoonful of the dough and drop onto a baking sheet.

6. 6

   Repeat until you have used up all the dough. Be sure to leave about 1 inch between the cookies because they spread as they bake.

7. 7

   Using pot holders, put the baking sheets in the oven. Bake until golden brown, about 10 minutes.

8. 8

   Again, using pot holders, remove the baking sheets from the oven. Lift the cookies from the baking sheets with a spatula, and place on cooling racks.

9. 9

   Let cool completely. Makes about 3 dozen cookies.
