Chocolate Chip Overload Cookies
Fri, May 1, 2009
You came for these cookies, and you shall get them, but first …
If you love baking as much as I do, and you have limited counter space like I do, stackable cooling racks are the perfect solution. I love my stackable, non-stick cooling racks so much I decided to buy an extra set and give them away!
That’s right, I’m having my first ever giveaway!
All you have to do is comment on this post, making sure to use a valid email address when filling out the comment form so I can contact you if you win, an that’s it! Easy-peasy! One entry per person, please. No entries after 9:00 p.m. Pacific Time Sunday, May 3, 2009. Winners will be randomly selected and announced Monday at 6:00 am Pacific Time.
Good luck … now let’s get back to cookies!
If you do not like chocolate, turn away now. If, however, you are like me and you can’t get enough chocolate let me introduce you to this cookie.
I made these for some out-of-town friends and they were a major hit! I am making these for a wedding reception in a few weeks because, as the bride said, “Who would not like chocolate chips wrapped in a thin layer of buttery cookie?” Who indeed.
They are called overload because they have three times the chocolate chips of most chocolate chip cookie recipes I have tried. See for yourself.
See, I’m not kidding. That is some serious chocolate.
These are a snap to make and turn out really pretty. Pretty is important, because so often I find chocolate chip cookies are disappointingly flat and lumpy. Not these. They do spread some, but they retain a nice round shape, and are nice and plump. They are hard to resist!
Chocolate Chip Overload Cookies Yield 5 dozen
2 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, slightly softened
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs, cold
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3 – 12 oz bags semi-sweet chocolate chips
Heat the oven to 350 F and line two sheet pans with parchment paper.
In a bowl mix the flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
In the bowl of a mixer cream the butter and two sugars until mixed, but not fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, and mix well. Add the vanilla and stir to combine.
Pour in the flour mixture and stir until the flour is almost absorbed, then add the chocolate chips and mix until the chip are incorporated and no flour remains. (You may need to do this by hand)
Scoop the dough into 1″ balls onto the prepared sheet pans. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Allow the cookies to cool for 3 minutes on the pan before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store in an air tight container for up to 5 days or freeze for up to one month.

Holy cow! Have some cookie with those chocolate chips!
Seriously, these look like they’re right up my alley. I looovveee chocolate chip cookies. And even though I have a long counter… there’s never enough space for a full batch of cookies. I’d love the cooling rack, too! Thanks for the recipe & the opportunity to win one of the racks.

I love how those are really just hunks of chocolate-chip with a thin cookie veneer. I would eat a dozen in a heart-beat. Also, I NEEED to win that stackable rack.
Those cookies are killing my new diet that I am about to postpone for another week. HMMMMMMMMMMM…………..COOKIES
I’ve been having a dry spell in the baking department as of late and seeing your cookies is definitely what I’ve been waiting for. I’m gonna make them ASAP. I wish I had your stackable cooling rack for when I make these babies.
Oh mY! My daughter would lOVE those cookies!! She always thinks there is way too much dough in choc. chip cookies!
These look wonderful. I’m going to make them this weekend and then bring them to work.
The cookies look delicious. Extra chocolate chips make these look amazing. Great blog post.
Thanks for doing a giveaway. Those stackable racks look great. You weren’t kidding about super chocolatey cookies. Although I like chocolate quite a bit, I actually really like the cookie dough part of chocolate chip cookies too.
We are making these cookies right now and we have to say that they are delicious even though we didn’t have that many chocolate chips… it still works out great!!!!
Thank you
Wow ~ your cookies look amazing. I always use 1 1/2 lbs but I just might have to up the ante now. YUM!
YIKES! You just brought on a chocolate craving that I cannot fulfill! ahhhhh! I marvel that the cookies even stay together with all that chocolate crammed in there.

Mmmmm! Love it! I’ve made Elinor Klivan’s Chock Full of Chocolate Chip cookies and they are awesome. I thought your recipe here was similar, but they really are quite different. Will have to try these! They look delicious!
P.S. I need more cooling racks!

May i know 1 cup equal to how many grams? How big is the cup?
may i know 1 cup equal to how many grams?
It is a standard size US dry measurig cup, approx. 5oz which is 141.75 grams. Give or take.
Hi
I was wondering if I could add toasted nuts to the batter, if so how much nuts do you think I could add.
Jackie – You could add as much as a cup pf nuts. You will yield more cookies that way. Pecans or walnuts would be lovely!
Just made these and I think I might just blame you for those extra pounds on the scale!
Great cookies, seriously.
for 3 months my boyfriend and i have been trying different chocolate chip cookie recipes trying to find one we both like… WE HAVE A WINNER!! i put about 1/2 the chocolate of this in mine because i didnt want to die of chocolate overdose
but they were AMAZING. only needed to cook them for 12-13 minutes because they were smaller too, wow im glad i found your blog!!
I made these a few weeks ago in my dorm kitchen. EVERYONE LOVED THEM.
I LOVED them.
When it comes to baking I’m usually specific with all the measurements, and I can tell you now that I had to do this recipe thrice (OCD?).
This recipe blew my tongue away.
Thank you! And merry Christmas!
made them again and loved them!
