Mrs. LDSPrepper Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe:
1 pound butter, softened
1 pound light brown sugar (2-2/3 cups)
1-1/2 cups sugar
3 large eggs
2 Tbsp vanilla
1-1/2 tsp baking soda
1-1/2 tsp salt
6 cups all purpose flour
2 cups chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans) OR flaked, sweetened coconut
4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Preheat conventional oven to 350 or solar oven to around 260-300 degrees. Solar oven reflectors are optional. Do not over heat solar oven or you may damage the oven.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar and white sugar; add eggs and vanilla. Mix together for 3 minutes. Add baking soda, salt and flour; mix together. Add nuts and chocolate chips and mix until thoroughly blended.
If using Wear Ever or Air Bake cookie sheets, spray with non-stick cooking spray. If using a dark colored cookie sheet, spray with non-stick cooking spray and line with aluminum foil, shiny side up (for regular oven, use Granite Ware cookie sheets for Solar oven). Spray again with non-stick cooking spray. [Using a reflective cookie sheet is very important in conventional oven.]
Use a cookie scoop to place mounds of dough on cookie sheets. Bake in oven for 12 minutes; rotate cookie sheets and continue to bake for 3 or 4 minutes longer. (No need to rotate in solar oven.) Prepare the next two cookie sheets with mounds of dough.
Remove baked cookies from oven and place cookie sheets on wire racks. Let cool for 10 minutes before removing to clean counter surface or wire racks to finish cooling. When cool, place two cookies on narrow sheet of plastic wrap and wrap tightly. Store in freezer. [Cookies turn stale rather quickly if not frozen.]
For variety, substitute 1 cup malted milk powder for 1 cup of the flour and add 1/4 cup chocolate syrup.
Makes 6 dozen cookies.
I'm such a fan! Made your cookies today. 1/2 batch in the conventional oven and 1/2 in the Solar oven. This is the first time I've expiramented side-by-side and I couldn't beieve the difference. Solar is better taste, but soo much longer. If you got the time, solar is the way to go. YUM! Thanks for sharing. P.S. I think Mrs. LDS Prepper needs her own channel.

@5339f I'm glad you enjoyed the cookies. Thanks for doing the side-by-side comparison. I agree Mrs. LDSPrepper should have her own channel. Thanks for sharing.

Mmmm. Who doesn't like cookies? I'm going to try this recipe this weekend, though I need to cut it down a bit. Or give them to me HT families!

What a wonderful treat - imagine, the world is hit with a super solar flare, all power is out everywhere, no food, no fuel, no electricity, no water in the mains...back to the stone age - but LDS Prepper's household is having a cookie party courtesy of the sun, drinking a nice cool glass of rain water from their tanks with some ice from fridge running off solar panels. Classic!
