Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

An instructable on how to make chocolate chip cookie dough!!! YAY!!
I got this recipe off of the back of a Nestle Toll House chocolate chip bag.

Step 1 Collect it!

You will need:
A large mixing bowl
A small mixing bowl
2 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1 teaspoon of salt
1 cup (2 sticks) of softened butter
3/4 cup of granulated sugar
3/4 cup of packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1 bag of semi-sweet/ milk chocolate chunks or chips

This is a great Instructable, but you need to add a main image of the final project to the intro step. Please do that and leave me a message when you have so that we can publish your work. Thanks!

um, what is the temp I should bake it at if I am to make cookies rather than just cookie dough. Thank you.

Whoa...I took forever. But it's 350.

Great -simple- instructable. Anybody have a recommendation for swapping out the butter with something less fattening? Would an equal amount of Apple sauce work? Thanks, Ken

If you use "egg substitute", which is pasturized, instead of real eggs, you will reduce the risk of food poisoning from eating raw eggs (not that it's really all that high in the first place, but people are paranoid.) Raw cookie dough freezes well molded into log shapes, and can be easily cut into pieces and added to lunch boxes. (or cooked, if you must...) Putting raw cookie dough in your kids' lunches will apparently result in them being very popular at lunch-time. In step three, you carefully SAY to cream the butter/sugar first and add the eggs one at a time, but your picture shows all the "wet" ingredients thrown in the bowl at once. Does it work that way? I see you have the costco 12-lb bag of baking soda, but the normal sized chocolate chips. There's something wrong there. Do you have a pool?

Oh. Haha. Yeah. I didn't read the instructions right myself, and I put in the eggs before I started mixing it. And... I might have a pool... We use the baking soda a lot more than we use the chocolate chips.

[thatfatkid500]

But yes. It does work just the same.

I never understood that whole "cooking the dough" thing. I'm going green and not cooking it.

Right on!! You're making a wise decision.
