Recipe type: Cookies
Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 Dozen
Ingredients
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1½ teaspoons baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ pound unsalted butter, cut into 1-ounce pieces
  • 2 cups tightly packed dark brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons dark rum
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 24 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. In a sifter combine the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Sift onto a large piece of wax paper and set aside until needed.
  4. Place the butter and brown sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle.
  5. Beat on medium for 4 minutes until soft.
  6. Use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl, then add the eggs, dark rum, and vanilla extract and beat on medium for 1 minute until combined.
  7. Scrape down the bowl once again.
  8. Operate the mixer on low while gradually adding the sifted dry ingredients until incorporated, about 1 minute.
  9. Add the chocolate chips and mix on low for 30 seconds.
  10. Remove the bowl from the mixer and use a rubber spatula to finish mixing the dough until thoroughly combined.
  11. Using 2 heaping tablespoons of dough (just shy of 3 ounces) for each cookie, portion 6 cookies, evenly spaced, onto each of 4 nonstick baking sheets.
  12. Place the baking sheets on the top and center racks of the preheated oven and bake for 28 to 30 minutes until dry to the touch, rotating the sheets from top to center halfway through the baking time (at that time also rum each sheet 180 degrees).
  13. Remove the cookies from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheets for 30 minutes.
  14. Store the cookies in a tightly sealed plastic container until ready to serve.
