Just as yummy as the original!It was my sister's birthday in August and I made a large batch of Dark Chocolate M & M Cookies for her. I found the recipe at Culinary in the Country. I reserved about a third of the dough, (excluding the Dark Chocolate M & M's) to make these for my brother-in-law who is lactose intolerant.
The reason I forgot to post is that I froze them after baking and forgot all about taking them out on the day of her birthday. So I guess you can say I found a nice treat for myself in the freezer!
I love it when that happens :)
Here is the recipe with the changes I made:
Lactose-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies
3/4 cup Fleischmann's unsalted margarine
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 large egg plus 1 egg yolk
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups Sam's Club Chocolate Chips (they contain no milk derivitives)
In a small saucepan, melt margarine over medium-low until it smells very nutty and gets a light golden color. Let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together melted margarine and sugars. Beat in vanilla, egg and egg yolk until the color lightens and is thoroughly mixed.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda and salt. Pour dry mixture into the wet and use a large wooden spoon to stir together just until combined. Fold in the Chocolate Chips. Cover and place in the refrigerator for at least 2-3 hours.
Preheat oven to 325
Scoop out dough using a 1/4 cup measure and place on parchment lined baking sheets. These spread a little so I only placed 6 per baking sheet. Bake for 15-18 minutes, turning the baking sheet halfway through. The edges should be slightly golden with the center being puffy and a little undercooked. Remove and let cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes. Carefully place each cookie on a wire rack to cool completely.
Makes 18-20 large cookies

Last time I made chocolate chip cookays they turned out pretty terrible! lol
Lou, You sound just like my Mom. She is a bar lady too. Hates the whole cookie by spoon thing. Bars are good too but for me, there's nothing like a cookie!
WWM, There's always Nestle Tollhouse ready-to-bake!
I baked cookies every now and then. I bake a lot of cookies at Christmastime.
I make cookies from scratch about once a month. well depending on the weather. I definately make more in the winter
