Chocolate Chip Cookies
This is a simple drop cookie recipe.  A large mixer w/ paddle is needed and multiple convection ovens are a plus.  Also 15 sheet pans with wax paper liners and a Tablespoon or small ice cream scooper to drop cookie dough onto pans is needed. 
Recipe submitted by Leo Kolodziejczyk, California

Serving size = approximately 50 dozen cookies

Ingredients

  • 4 Pounds of Margarine
  • 1 gallon of Sugar
  • 1 gallon of Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 cup of Vanilla Extract
  • 30 Eggs
  • 1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
  • 1 Tablespoon Baking Soda
  • 2 Gallons Flour
  • 1 Gallon of Chocolate chips
  • Add Chopped Walnuts if desired

Instructions

With mixer on Low speed, cream sugars and margarine. Then add vanilla, eggs, baking powder and baking soda, flour and chocolate chips. Then prepare your sheet pans by placing wax paper on them and drop the cookie dough with your tablespoon or small ice cream scooper in a 4x6 Pattern.  Four wide and Six Deep.  Depending on the size of your convection oven, You should be able to bake off 10 dozen Cookies at a time (5 sheet pans at a time).

Bake at 325 degrees for about 10 - 12 minutes or until golden brown. Then let the cookies cool for about 20 minutes before taking them off the pans.  Personally, I like to cross stack the sheet pans as they come out of the oven instead of using a sheet pan tower because it saves kitchen space and after the cookies are cooled, I like to put 5 layers of cookies with wax paper on each sheet pan and wrap with plastic wrap before storing if you are short of sheet pans, you can reuse the pans providing you have lots of wax paper and cookie dough.

This cookie dough keeps rather well for a few days, but if you feed large groups and have an hour to spare on a simple dessert, this is a good one.
