There's nothing unique or special about these cookies- they are pretty basic but of course super delicious. The reason I'm posting them is because I want to have a collection of all recipes I love and know I will make again so I can easily reference them without searching through cookbooks or websites. So, until I come across a better recipe this will be my go-to for chocolate chip cookies. We used semi-sweet chocolate chunks instead of chips, and the cookies are soft and chewy rather than crispy. This is a simple desert, but when you are craving chocolate chip cookies, it hits the spot every time!
Ingredients:
1 cup butter (two sticks) softened to room temperature
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (we ran out and used half bread flour, and they came out fine)
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chunks or chocolate chips
Directions:
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F. Cream together the butter and sugar until smooth.
Next, add the eggs and vanilla, and mix until well combined.
Add the baking soda and salt. Stir to make sure there are no baking soda lumps. Then, add flour one cup at a time.
Once you have incorporated all of the flour, fold in the chocolate chunks until they are evenly distributed. Place even-sized spoonfuls onto a greased baking sheet and bake for 9 minutes or until the edges have started to brown. The middle of the cookie won't look like it's cooked all of the way through, but once they cool they will be fine. This keeps the cookie chewy and soft. (we let ours go a little too far in the batch shown below on the baking sheet)
Move the cookies to a cooling rack and serve warm with a glass of cold milk. Store in an air-tight container. So yummy!
