Description

Dark chocolate and nutmeg come together in a variation of my grandmother’s recipe. They come out of the oven crisp at the edges, chewy in the middle, and oozing with melted chocolate!

Ingredients

  • 2-½ cups All-purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 sticks Softened Butter
  • ¾ cups Granulated Sugar
  • ¾ cups Brown Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 2 whole Eggs
  • 2 cups Dark Chocolate Chips, Or To Taste

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 375 F, and get your butter out of the fridge so it can soften.

Measure your dry ingredients into a small mixing bowl: purpose flour, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt. (If you like your cookies on the crispy side, leave out 1/4 cup of the flour. I like mine big and fluffy like Grandma’s, so I leave it in.)

Place your softened butter in a large mixing bowl, add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer until creamy. Add eggs and beat again until combined.

Mix in the dry ingredients in 3 batches, until the batter is completely combined. With a wooden spoon, mix in your chocolate chips. Depending on your preference, use 1 to 2 cups (6 to 12 ounces) of morsels. This recipe calls for dark chocolate, but semi-sweet or white would work as well.

Drop 12 heaping round tablespoonfuls onto an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes at 375 degrees, until cookies are just golden brown at the edges.

Enjoy!

My son has gotten into baking cookies, and was looking for a variation on regular chocolate chip cookies. This recipe is a winner — love the nutmeg flavor!

These are amazing! The middle is so soft, and the outside, perfectly crispy! We’re baking these for our out of town guests’ goody bags at our wedding :)
