We are in the process of moving and most of my cookbooks are in storage still...
Does anyone have the instructions/cookbook that comes with the Cuisinart food processor (mine is the 7-cup, purchased around 10 years ago)? I love the chocolate chip cookie recipe in there but don't remember the amounts--it makes a smaller batch than Toll House. If you have it and could post the recipe, I'd be grateful. |

I Googled it and found this. Maybe it's on this site:
http://www.cuisinart.com/recipes/recipe.php?recipe_id=37 Don't make regular cookies in the Food Processor. I had a really frustrating time realizing that most cookie recipes don't work in a Food Processor because they get over-mixed and turn out flat! |

Thanks--I did find this but it's not the recipe==this one uses at least 2x the butter so I think maybe it's for the bigger model.
The one I do have is perfect, not flat at all, just wish I could find it!

Sorry, I figured I'd give it a shot. Sometimes on these boards people don't think to Google things. If you do find it, please post it here! I grew up using the Food Processor for everything. I guess my Mom wasn't too into chocolate chip cookies because I didn't even know you couldn't generally make them in a Food Processor until I finally got myself my "dream" Kitchaid model a year or so ago. When they didn't turn out I thought I forgot how to cook! (I was pregnant at the time, I think....a little hormonal of a reaction )

I did find one recipe via google that looked similar and tried it, but they spread way too much--I should have used less baking soda because we're at 6000 ft, but still--the recipe I have in storage makes the best cookies! and it's so easy! I'll try to remember to repost next month when I have the cookbook.
Here's the one I did find--and now that I look at it again I'm asking myself if I put in a whole tsp of baking soda, that definitely would have screwed things up. You want to just arrange the ingredients around the blade and pulse them together--it makes a pretty dry dough but they're good! http://www.cooks.com/rec/view/0,1913,158184-249199,00.html |

OP here--this is the recipe I was originally looking for--still my favorite, although I prefer it with mini chocolate chips. I highly recommend it. The cookies don't flatten out like Toll House do.
I was trying to find it online again and came across my post because my laptop is in the bedroom with a sleeping baby and if she wakes up I won't be able to make cookies! BTW--it was not on the Cuisinart website in their recipes section, had to find the PDF of the owner's manual. CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES 3/4 stick unsalted margarine (3 ounces, 85g), well-chilled and cut into 7 pieces 1 large egg 1/3 cup sugar (2-1/3 ounces, 70g) 1/3 cup firmly packed light brown sugar ` (2-1/3 ounces, 70g) 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 1/2 cup nut pieces (2 ounces, 55g) 1-1/3 cups all-purpose flour (6-3/4 ounces, 190g) 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon salt 6 ounces (170g) semisweet chocolate morsels Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). 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 cookies by tablespoonful onto ungreased cookie sheets, spacing them 2-inch (5cm) apart. Bake until lightly browned, about 8 to 10 minutes. Makes about 3 dozen cookies. |

| OP here, you're welcome! Funny to see you resurrected the thread but they're still my favorite CC cookie recipe. And they work at any altitude. |

To the OP if you happen to see. I was looking for this exact recipe online and agree it is one of the best. Thank you for posting.
If I remember correctly, this recipe is made in a Cuisinart with the blade attachment and not in a standing mixer. Correct? |

| People use margarine to make cookies? Isn’t butter better tasting? |

Butter tastes better. Margarine cookies spread more and are thinner. The texture is a little different. It all depends on the type of cookie you like. I make my snickerdoodle with shortening and butter and they taste a little better to me. |
