This recipe was a labor of love. I tweaked and tweaked this recipe until I felt it was right. I still may tweak it as I go along. The measurements, if followed, will yield a good cookie, but I am of the old school and do not rely on measurements – it’s more of a feeling and a process. It’s about the love.
Preheat oven to 375.
In a large bowl, mix the flour, salt, baking soda, and nutmeg.
In a separate bowl, beat together the butter, sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla. Beat until light and creamy.
Add in eggs one at a time until fully blended.
Add in flour mixture gradually.
Add in chocolate chips.
Spoon dough onto either a sil-pat lined cookie sheet or a greased cookie sheet.
Bake for 9-11 minutes until golden brown.
*The issue of the nutmeg – well, ground nutmeg will do if that is all you have, but the major difference is in having a microplane and fresh, whole nutmeg. But, it’s up to you.

I made these today. The first batch was brown on the bottoms, but mushy on the top, so I cooled the oven down to 350 and baked for 12-13 minutes instead. This worked out well, but my oven is sort of weird. I liked the nutmeg taste; it added a pleasant twang which made the cookies feel “more grown up.” Also, 3 cups of chocolate chips seemed overwhelming at first, but once they cook it’s not as bad as you’d expect. Good recipe!

Delicious!! I didn’t have nutmeg but I will try it like that next time. Also, I used 12 oz (didn’t see it specified in the recipe).

How much chocolate is in these cookies? Is it just one 12-oz. bag?

These cookies turned out perfect, soft and moist! Next time I will leave out the nutmeg, it was a little too overpowering for us! A definite recipe to keep though!
