The smell of warm gooey chocolate chips floating through the air, the smell of cookies baking in the oven, home sweet home. One of my favorite childhood memories was coming home from school to the wonderful aroma of cookies baking in the oven.
I love baking, and I make some pretty amazing cookies (at least thats what I've been told lol). My mom has used this recipe for years and its one of my favorite chocolate chip recipes and now I'm going to pass it on to you :)
Ingredients
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
(I usually use a little more then 2 cups of chocolate chips lol)
Directions
In a large mixing bowl, beat butter, sugars, and vanilla until light and fluffy.
Next, add eggs and beat well.
In a separate bowl, stir together flour, baking soda and salt.
Gradually add to butter mixture.
Make sure to thoroughly mix flour mixture with the butter mixture.
Next add the chocolate chips and stir.
Next make little balls of the dough and place on a cookie sheet. Remember the size of the dough balls will determine the size of the cookies, large dough balls = large cookies (I think you get the point lol).
Heat oven to 375 degrees. When oven is done heating up, place cookies on middle rack and bake for 8 to 10 minutes. What I usually do is set the timer for 9 minutes, after the 9 minutes I check them and depending on what they look like either take them out or leave them in another minute or so. This time around I cooked them for about 11 or 12 minutes
(I forgot to take my mom's pizza stone out before I heated up the oven, oops lol)
Ta-da!
Yummmmy! :)
Remember the stacking bowl set I found at H.E.B? I tried them out to make these cookies, and it was a success! The large mixing bowl is really smooth and the cookie dough didnt stick to the sides of the bowl much at all, yay!
What are your favorite foods to make, or to eat if you dont like to cook ;)?
