Easy chocolate chip cookies for the holidays

, , No Comments

It's cold which makes me want to eat, sip on hot chocolate and bake some chocolate chip cookies. Here I found the best chocolate chip cookie recipes. I never liked cookies because they are either dry or too chewy, but I came across this recipe by Taste Better From Scratch and decided to try it out. No regrets here. The easiest and yummiest chocolate chip cookie recipe. They are the perfect balance between soft, sweet and delicious. I used semi sweet chocolate chips by Ghirardelli but you could use any. I just don't like sweet sweet chocolate.

INGREDIENTS (taken from Lauren's blog post. Here is the original post)
  1. 2 cups plus 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
  2. 1/2 tsp baking soda
  3. 1/2 tsp salt
  4. 12 Tbsp butter (1 1/2 sticks) melted and cooled until warm
  5. 1 cup brown sugar
  6. 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  7. 1 large egg + 1 egg yolk
  8. 2 tsp vanilla extract
  9. 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
  10. PROCESS
  11. Heat oven to 325 degrees.
  12. In a medium bowl mix together all dry ingredients: flour, salt, and baking soda.
  13. In a separate large mixing bowl beat the butter  melted in the microwave for 30 seconds 
  14. and sugars together with an electric mixer until well blended. Add the egg, egg yolk, and 
  15. vanilla. Stir in the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Gently stir in the chocolate 
  16. chips. The dough will be somewhat soft but not running.
  17. Gently scoop dough into balls and place on a cookie sheet. Bake for 10 minutes or until gold 
  18. on top. Store in an airtight container.
