The Most Delicious Chocolate Chip Cookies
Now, I’m going to start off by saying I have literally f**ked up 99.9% of the cookie recipes I’ve made. I am not a very good baker lol
And because of that, I don’t make cookies often. (Also because I have no self control/discipline when it comes to eating sweets)
I found this recipe several years ago, I was flip flopping back and forth with this and another chocolate chip cookie recipe I have. And, now I can say that I have FINALLY, successfully made these ones!!
But there’s a few tricks (that I recommend) that should be followed, which wasn’t mentioned in the original recipe.
NOTE ** I will add a “*” to the parts that I have personally changed to better the recipe. Wether it actually helps or not, I don’t know, it just works for me lol
Soft & Chewy Chocolate Chips Cookies
Ingredients
• 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup packed light brown sugar
• 2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
Method
In a small bowl, *sift* the flour, then whisk in the baking soda. Set aside. (Again, the recipe doesn’t require you to sift the flour, if you don’t want to sift, don’t)
In another bowl, combine the butter with both sugars; beat on medium speed until light and fluffy.
Reduce speed to low; add salt, vanilla & eggs. Beat until well mixed, about 1 minute.
Add flour mixture; mix until just combined, stir in chocolate chips.
*Now the recipe calls to throw it in the oven BUT I saran wrap the bowl and let the dough chill in the fridge for an hour minimum.*
Once the dough is chilled, preheat the oven to 350F.
Drop heaping TBSP sized balls of dough, spaced roughly 2in apart, onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
Bake until cookies are golden brown around the edges but still soft in the center, 8-10 minutes. Remove, let cool on the cookie sheet for 1-2 minutes, then transfer to wire rack.
Yields roughly 3 dozen cookies.
Also you can use any kind of chocolate chips you like. I used dark chocolate chunks for my last batch and I’m trying out sea salt caramel chips for the batch also pictured in this blog post.
I found both kinds of chips/chunks at Bulk Barn in Williams Lake, so I’m sure most Bulk Barns will have the same or something close.
Enjoy!
