The Big Kahlua Vanilla Cookies

By MJH

Ingredients

• 1 3/4 cups flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 2/3 cup melted butter
• 1 3/4-3 1/2 tablespoons Kahlua
• 7/8 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1 egg, slightly beaten
• 1 3/4 cups vanilla chips (or chunks)

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Grease a foil-lined cookie sheet.

Sift flour, baking soda and salt.

Melt butter (don't let it get cool), add Kahlua.

Add sugars and beat well; add egg yolks, beat until very well blended.

Mix in flours on low speed until just blended.

Add vanilla chips or chunks.

Cover and chill for of 4 hours.

Drop by very heaping tablespoonfuls onto greased sheet, leaving 3" space between cookie dough.

Bake for 10-12 minutes, (I use a convection oven), or until cookies are brown around the edges and baked to desired doneness.

Note: Do not store the cookie dough in the freezer for later use, as it will upset the texture).
