Name: Quick Chocolate Chip Cookie Pops
Prep time: 20 min
Cook time: 10 min
Total time: 30 min
Yield: about 12 dozen.
Ingredients: 2 cups butter, softened; 1-1/2 cups sugar; 1-1/2 cups packed brown sugar; 3 eggs; 1 tablespoon vanilla extract; 4-3/4 cups all-purpose flour; 1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda; 1 teaspoon salt; 3 cups milk chocolate chips; 2 cups chopped pecans; 12 dozen Popsicle sticks

My family prefers milk chocolate to dark or semisweet chocolate, so I created this recipe. Baking the pops on a stick makes them fun, but the cookies are just as delicious by themselves.

Ingredients

2 cups butter, softened
1-1/2 cups sugar
1-1/2 cups packed brown sugar
3 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
4-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups milk chocolate chips
2 cups chopped pecans
12 dozen Popsicle sticks

Directions

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Transfer to a larger bowl if necessary. Stir in chocolate chips and pecans.
Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls 3 in. apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Insert a wooden stick into each cookie if desired. Bake at 375° for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool for 1 minute before removing to wire racks.
