Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 F. Stack two baking sheets together and line one with parchment paper.

Blend melted butter and softened butter with the brown and white sugar. Add in the eggs and vanilla. Fold in the dry ingredients.

Chill batter 2 hours or overnight. (This cures the dough and the cookies bake up better; if you can wait - even 20 minutes is a help).

Form batter into large balls, about two golf balls worth -by weight it is 3 ounces of dough. Press lightly on baking sheet if batter is very cold - do not press if batter is still cold but soft.

Bake on upper rack of oven for 12 to 14 minutes. Cool on baking sheet for 3 minutes then cool on a rack.

Makes about 8 to 12 very large cookies
