After a lifetime of searching for the perfect chocolate chip cookie recipe, I finally found it a few years ago.
1 cup butter
1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
1 egg (or egg substitute)
2 tsp. vanilla
2 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. ground ginger
1/2 tsp. salt
12 oz. chocolate chips
1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
1 cup powdered sugar
Mix cream, brown sugar, egg and vanilla in a large bowl.
In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, ginger, salt and cinnamon. Gradually blend into the butter mixture. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts. Chill until firm. (It works ok too, if you are impatient and choose not to do this. The dough is just a bit stickier. Alternately, you can also refrigerate the dough overnight, if you're a masochist who can live with the promise delicious cookies so close, but unfulfilled for 12 hours.)
Roll dough into 1" balls between your palms. Dredge in powdered sugar. Place on a lightly greased cookie sheet.
Bake at 375 for 10 minutes. Remove from oven & cool cookies on a rack.
Yield: 6 dozen
