Re:Why do chocolate chip cookies have 37% (1/e) chocolate in... by DanBC on Sunday January 26, 2014 @02:21PM (#7126414)
Clifford Stoll has a great chocolate chip cookie recipe in his book "cuckoos egg" - about his experience tracking crackers through international networks. (With cameo appearance from RTM and the worm).

I'd put it here but the experience of cutting / pasting on iPhone is painful. (Hints and tips gratefully received).

"Two eggs, 1 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup regular sugar, 2 sticks softened butter. Fold in 2 1/4 cups flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and a couple tablespoons of vanilla. For an extra chocolate jag, toss in 3 tablespoons of cocoa. Oh, don't forget 2 cups of chocolate chips. Bake 'em at 375 degrees for 10 minutes."

This is very similar to the Toll House cookie recipe, but with even more vanilla which I think is an excellent idea. And that extra cocoa powder looks good too!

Edit: For metric measures, 250 ml white sugar, 250 ml soft butter, 530 ml flour, 2.5 ml salt, 5 ml baking soda, 30 ml vanilla, (optional 45 ml cocoa), 250 ml chocolate chips.

I wonder if someone could do this in by-weight measures? Flour is too compressible to measure accurately by volume.

Whoops, plus 125 ml white sugar for the metric.
