Recipe: Chocolate Chip Cookies (Cuisinart Food Processor recipe)

CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

3/4 stick unsalted margarine (3 ounces), well-chilled and cut into 7 pieces
1 large egg
1/3 cup sugar (2 1/3 ounces)
1/3 cup firmly packed light brown sugar (2 1/3 ounces)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup nut pieces (2 ounces)
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour (6 3/4 ounces)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 (6 ounce) package semisweet chocolate morsels

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Insert metal blade. Put margarine, egg, both sugars and vanilla in work bowl and process until smooth, about 30 seconds. Stop once to scrape bowl.

Put nuts, then flour, baking soda and salt on top of batter in circle, then add chocolate. Pulse just until flour disappears, about 4 times. Run spatula around inside of bowl and pulse twice. Do not overprocess. Drop cookie dough by tablespoonful onto ungreased cookie sheets, spacing them 2-inches apart.

Bake until lightly browned, about 8 to 10 minutes.

Makes about 3 dozen cookies
