Merry Christmas Everyone
Chocolate chip cookies represent half of the cookies baked in
American homes each year , I have just backed mine , and I would want you to be
in my kitchen now smelling and enjoying the taste of heaven
Anyway dear readers , lets try to put it like that, chocolate
chip cookie is the best cookie served for all occasions , simple to prepare and
it is delicious to all ages .
So here you go my no- longer secret recipe revealed to you all
, so that you enjoy the holidays
Chocolate Chip Cookie Ingredients
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 cup butter, softened
• 2 large eggs,beaten
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
• if desired, 1 cup chopped pecans, or chopped walnuts
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Mix sugar, brown sugar, butter, vanilla and eggs in a large bowl by
hand. Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt. The dough will be very
stiff.
You can even use a Kitchen Aid
mixer for this first step. I use the batter attachment and mix on a
lower setting. Just be sure that the dough is well mixed before moving
on.
Stir in chocolate chips by
hand. You'll need to use a sturdy wooden spoon for this and a bit of
muscle. You can add the pecans, or other nuts, at this time if
desired. Keep stirring and folding the chocolate chips and nuts into
the dough until they are evenly dispersed. (This makes sure you have
enough chocolate in each cookie!!)
Drop dough by rounded
tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheet. The
chockolate chip cookie need to be this far apart because the
dough spreads during cooking. No one wants to cut the cookies
apart after baking. |
|
Bake 8 to 10 minutes or
until light brown. You may even think that the chocolate chip
cookies are underdone, but they will finish cooking through out
of the oven. If you leave them in too long, the cookies will be
tough or crispy. (My kids eat them anyway. I always over cook
at least one sheet because of the phone, a child wanting some
attention or some other reason) |
|
The centers will be
soft. Let cool completely then remove from cookie sheet. I use
a flat spatula to remove the cookies from the sheet. It helps
to get them off quickly. If you try to remove the cookies while
they are still warm, the chocolate chips are still very soft and
this can cause a very big mess as well as messy looking cookies. |
