 Today we made Chocolate Chip Cookies, and they are so Yummy, (not that I had any LOL just by the looks on everyone’s faces).

Ingredients:
-1 cup (2 sticks) (226 grams) unsalted butter, room temperature

-3/4 cup (150 grams) granulated white sugar

-3/4 cup (160 grams) firmly packed light brown sugar

-2 large eggs

-1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

-2 1/4 cups (315 grams) all-purpose flour

-1 teaspoon baking soda

-1/2 teaspoon salt

-1 1/2 cups (270 grams) semisweet chocolate chips

-1 cup (100 grams) walnuts or pecans, coarsely chopped (optional)

 

Directions:

-Preheat oven to 375 degrees F with rack in center of oven. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Set aside.

-In the bowl of your electric mixer or with your hand mixer, cream the butter. Add white and brown sugar and beat until the mixture gets fluffy.Add eggs, one at a time, making sure to beat well after each addition. Add vanilla extract and beat until incorporated.

-In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt.Slowly add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture, and beat until incorporated, adding chocolate chips half way trough mixing. (If the dough is too soft, cover and refrigerate for about 30 minutes, until firm).

-Shape cookies on baking sheets (I use a ice cream scoop). Bake for about 12 to 14 minutes, or until cookies get golden brown around the edges. Cool completely on wire rack.

Makes about 4 dozen cookies if 3 inch round!

ENJOY!!!
