How to Make Nestle Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookies High Altitude

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Whisk together 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl.
  3. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 3/4 cup packed brown sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 2 large eggs, one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients (flour mixture) and 2 tablespoons of water to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in 2 cups chocolate chips (or your favorite baking chips!) and 1 cup chopped nuts (optional).
  7. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto ungreased baking sheets.
  8. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown. High-altitude ovens may cook faster, so start checking at 8 minutes.
  9. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. For a pan cookie: Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan. Prepare dough as directed above. Spread evenly into the prepared pan and bake for 17-19 minutes, or until golden brown.
