These are the best ones I have made so far, at least, that's what my family says. So I decided to put it to the test. I took some to work and they loved them. One of my managers couldn't get enough and another said they where so good I should open a bakery lol [heres to dreaming]
So I bring to you what I think is my best Soft and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe.
What you need:
1 cup unsalted butter [softened]
1 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips
[ 1 cup chopped nuts - optional]
What to do:
1. - In a large mixing bowl cream together the butter and both sugars. Beat in the eggs and vanilla until creamy.
2. - In a medium bowl mix together the flour, baking soda and salt. Gradually add to the creamed mixture a little at a time. Mix well until combined. Stir in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts if desired.
3. - [optional] cover bowl and refrigerate 1 hour. I find by doing this it helps so that the cookies don't spread too much and go flat while baking.
4. - Preheat oven to 350
5. - Drop by tablespoon onto a parchment paper lined cookie sheet or ungreased sheet if desired approximately 2 inches apart. You can drop by the teaspoon if you want a smaller cookie. *Tablespoon size ended up giving us approx 2 1/2 inch round cookies.
6. - Bake 8 - 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Do not over bake, taking them out at just the right time is key to achieve the soft and chewiness of these cookies. Let cool on baking sheet for about 2 mins then remove onto a wire rack. Cool completely before storing in containers.
7. - Enjoy!
Prep: 15 minutes
Total Time: approx. 2 hours if refrigerated. 1 hour if not.
Yield: about 4 dozen tablespoon cookies or 5 dozen teaspoon cookies
