When my kids come home school to the smell of these cookies baking, or freshly out of the oven it just seems to make the afternoon and homework easier..or maybe I am just on a sugar high from eating the dough..either way:
Here is what I came up with for my fav Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe:
- 2 sticks of Butter (one salted and one unsalted) softened
- ⅔ C Brown Sugar
- ⅔ C Sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 3 C Flour
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 ½ C Milk Chocolate Chips
Cream together the Butter and Sugars until light and fluffy (about 2 mins). Beat in the Vanilla. Add one egg at a time until combined.
In a separate bowl combine the Flour, Baking Soda and Salt. I mix them together with a fork to fluff and see if there are any clumps.
Slowly add the Flour mix to the Butter mix until just combined. Then add the Chocolate Chips.
Make ping pong size balls about 1” apart on baking sheet and lightly push down on the tops to flatten. Bake @ 350* for 12 mins or until light brown on top. Remove to a cooling rack right away.
Enjoy!!!
I love having a daughter that knows how to cook...you are creative and willing to try unusual combinations.
ReplyDeleteQuestion: What kind of mild choc chips in the cookie recipe?
Thanks mom! I like good old fashion Toll House :) But I am sure that whatever you have on hand would be great. Mix it up with 1C milk chocolate and 1/2C white chocolate. Or add your fav nuts! I know how much you like nuts in your chocolate chip cookies~!
DeleteI love having a mom that cooks very well and leaves me a surprise after school here and there! The food she makes is delicious especially when it comes to dinner! Whenever she calls us for dinner, I drop what im doing and I sprint to the kitchen! My mom makes the best food ever!
