The Chocolate Chip cookie is a classic and a favourite. Its' my go-to when I want to bake for the kids (and myself). I know I always have the ingredients on hand.
I am always on the hunt for the best Chocolate Chip Cookie recipes and I would add this one to the list.
It has a great chewy center (as long as it is not over baked) and a 'crispy' exterior and it is perfect minutes out of the oven and pair with a cold glass of milk.
I always double the recipe - with 6 of us at home we go through food quickly and when it comes to homemade cookies, we go through them even quicker. Doubling the recipe is a great idea, if you are short on time and don't get to bake often. Cookies freeze very well, so eat some now and freeze the rest for later!
This recipe will be in my regular rotation because the ingredients are so simple.
Here's what you need:
- 2 3/4 cups flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 1/4 cups butter
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips (I only had milk chocolate chips, they were also good and a combo of the two would be fabulous, perfect for a chocolate lover!)
- Pre heat your oven to 375 degrees
- Mix the flour, salt and baking soda in one bowl
- In another bowl mix your butter, sugars, vanilla and eggs and mix well together.
- Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and stir.
- Add your chocolate chips and keep stirring until all of the mixture is well blended
- Using a table spoon, scoop out the dough and form into balls and place on a greases cookie sheet.
- My cookies were perfect at 14 minutes, slightly golden...
I doubled this recipe and it resulted in just over 3 dozen cookies.
And that's it! Pour yourself a glass of milk and enjoy! Might want to taste one minutes of the oven....you may not get another chance to grab one otherwise ;)
