What you got?

I use the "Neiman Marcus Chocolate Chip" recipe (easily found on the net) and make about 12 dozen around Christmas to hand out to the mailman, garbage collectors, neighbors, etc.

The whole story behind the recipe is BS, but it is a good cookie recipe and my go-to for chocolate chip.

And after you make the dough, chill the dough. Many recipes leave this step out for some reason.

I still love the Toll House recipe on the back of the bag of choco chips, add chopped pecans and short the flour about a tablespoon for a thinner chewier cookie. (can add another 2 tablespoons brown sugar too for more molasses flavor if no molasses on hand if ya like molasses)

I use dark brown sugar instead of light and add some fresh ground nutmeg, only like a 1/2 teaspoon so its kinda hidden but present.

The real winner is the judge, he gets to eat all the cookies. How do you become a judge is the question you need to be asking.

I don't bake much, but these are easy and people love them. Impossible to eat just one.

Praline Cookies

1 extra large egg white
1 c light brown sugar
2 c whole pecan halves or pieces
½ t salt
1 T flour
1 T vanilla

Beat egg white and salt until stiff. Add brown sugar and flour. Beat to mix together. Stir in vanilla. Stir in pecans until coated.

Drop heaping tablespoons on greased cookie sheet or silpat.

Bake at 275 for 20-30 minutes. Let cool before removing. They will get harder as they cool.

Makes about 24.
