Chocolate Chip Cookies

Based on Elizabeth Falkner's 'Citizen Cake' Cookbook. 


Ingredients

8 tablespoons (4oz) unsalted butter, softened
3/4 (6 1/4 oz) firmly packed dark brown sugar
1/2 cup +1 tablespoon (4 ounces) granulated sugar
One large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
Fresh ground nutmeg
1 1/4 cup +3 tablespoons (7 ounces) all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate (chips or chunks)
3/4 cup chopped walnuts or toasted almonds

Directions

Cream the butter and sugars together until smooth. Then add egg, salt, nutmeg, and vanilla and stir until combined.

Sift the flour, baking soda, and baking powder together and in a separate bowl. 

Slowly add the flour mixture to the butter sugar mixture and stir by hand untold just barely incorporated, with still some small streaks of flour. Add chocolate and nuts and stir until just combined.

Bake at 350°F for about 13 to 17 minutes.
