Warm Chocolate Chip Cookies That Taste Like Home

Ingredients:

  • 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 14 tablespoons unsalted butter (room temp)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 12 ounces chocolate chips (I use semi-sweet)

Directions:

  • Preheat oven to 350
  • Whisk together flour, baking soda and salt in a small bowl and then set aside.
  • In a mixer (or with a whisk) beat room temp butter with both sugars until soft and fluffy.
  • On low speed add eggs one at a time along with vanilla extract and mix until smooth.
  • Gently fold in flour and chocolate chips.
  • Scoop about a tablespoon (depending on how big you want them) and place onto a parchment lined baking sheet leaving space between them.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes or until cookies are golden around the edges.
  • Let them sit for a 5 minutes (the wait will be worth it)
  • Best enjoyed warm, preferably with a little lipstick smudge on your glass of milk.

Tips:

  • I place my cookie dough in the fridge for 30 min-1 hr before I staring scooping them into balls.
  • Store in air tight container after they are almost completely cool to keep them soft.
  • Make sure butter is room temp, take out 30 min-1 hr before starting to bake.
  • You can use any chocolate chips but I use semi-sweet or sometimes a mixture of semi-sweet and milk chocolate.
  • Make sure you are folding your chocolate chips into the dough with a spatula and not a mixer to avoid crushing them up.
