Love, love, love these chocolate chip cookies. They are thin, slightly crispy and moist, just like we like them. I adapted this recipe from Better Homes and Gardens, although, the original recipe calls for 2 cups of chocolate chips and I think 1 cup is just enough. You decide. I think this recipe is just perfect {and my kids do as well}. The only problem I have with these cookies is they seem to vanish quicker than I can make them.
Ingredients:
- 2 sticks butter, softened
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 3/4 cup granulated white sugar
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 egg
- 2 cups flour
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat butter on medium-high speed for 30 seconds. Mix in brown sugar, white sugar, and baking soda. Beat until mixed well, scraping the sides of bowl down occasionally.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla until combined. Combine the flour slowly and beat until mixed. Use a spoon to stir any remaining unmixed flour.
- Stir in chocolate chips and mix well.
- Scoop the dough using an ice cream or cookie scooper {or tsp}. Drop dough balls 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes {I bake for 10}, or until edges are lightly browned. Remove from oven.
- Using a spatula, lightly press down on each cookie to flatten. Transfer cookies to a wire rack or parchment paper to cool.
