OVERNIGHT COOKIES



Overnight Cookies image

These cookies Mom made when we were kids and we always enjoyed them. They are a good "dunking" cookie. At Christmas you can add red & green cherries in addition to the nuts. Keep the cookie dough roll in the freezer and make freshly baked cookies as you need them. I hope you enjoy them.

OVERNIGHT CHEWY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



Overnight Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies image

I grew up eating these as a kid, so I may be biased, but these are the softest, chewiest, tastiest chocolate chip cookies I've encountered (and believe me, I've tested extensively!) Give them a try and I'm sure you'll agree! If you use macadamias and white chocolate morsels, these become the tastiest White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies ever! Just one disclaimer...you will want to use a stand mixer for these, or your arms may just fall off mid-stir!

Time 1h55m

Yield 84 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/3 cups butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar, tightly packed
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 eggs
2 cups white flour
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup walnuts (or whatever nuts you prefer) or 1 cup pecans, chopped (or whatever nuts you prefer)
3 (6 ounce) packages chocolate chips, assorted varieties (I usually use 1 pkg. milk chocolate, 1 pkg. semi sweet, and 1 pkg. bittersweet or dark)

Steps:

  • Cream butter and sugars in stand mixer till well blended and fluffy. Stir in vanilla extract and eggs.
  • Sift together flours, soda, and salt.
  • Slowly add dry mixture to creamed mixture, stirring well between each addition.
  • When all dry ingredients have been incorporated, gently fold in nuts and chocolate chips.
  • Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight (will actually keep about a week in the fridge if you need it to).
  • To bake, preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Drop cookies by tablespoonfuls onto parchment lined cookie sheets.
  • Bake for 7-8 minutes, till the cookies are *just* starting to brown at the edges. They will look a tad under-baked, but that's what makes them so soft!

OVERNIGHT COOKIES



Overnight Cookies image

When you've finished your cookie baking for the day, or dinner for the night, make sure the oven is at 350* to 400* while you whip these up. Put them in the oven, turn it off and go to bed. NO PEEKING! 8 - 9 hours later, you will have very delicate but irresistible cookies.

Categories     Drop Cookies

Time 8h15m

Yield 36 Cookies

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 large egg whites
1/3 teaspoon salt
1 cup white sugar
2/3 teaspoon vanilla
1/3 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
1 1/2 walnuts, medium to finely chopped

Steps:

  • Place your glass or metal bowl and metal blender legs into the freezer for 30 to 45 minutes.
  • Do not turn your oven off after your dinner or your "last" batch of cookies. Make sure oven is set at 350* to 400*.
  • Place parchment paper on cookie sheets.
  • Gently separate egg whites from yolks. Discard yolks.
  • Remove bowl and blender legs from freezer.
  • Place egg whites in cold bowl and blend on high with cold blender legs until stiff.
  • While blending the egg whites stiff, add vanilla and salt.
  • Gradually add sugar until the egg whites form stiff peaks. Do not over blend!
  • If egg white mixture seems it be failing to form stiff peaks, in about 5 minutes, blend in cream of tartar.
  • Gently fold in chocolate chips and nuts.
  • Place by teaspoon full on the parchment covered cookie sheets.
  • Put the cookie sheets into the oven an turn the oven off.
  • Leave the cookies in the oven overnight (8 to 9 hours). NO PEEKING!
  • Variation: Fold in 1/3 cup cocoa powder and substitute 1/2 of the chocolate chips for peanut butter chips and substitute peanuts for walnuts. This variation was created for my niece Lily, who has a tree nut allergy, but loves peanut butter.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor.
  • Don't overmix the dough, or the cookies will be tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 2 hours, or overnight, for the best results.
  • Preheat the oven to the correct temperature before baking the cookies.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set, but not overbaked.
  • Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before serving.

Whether you're looking for a sweet snack or a special dessert, overnight cookies are sure to satisfy your cravings.
