The last time I made chocolate chip cookies (which was for Shane's swim meet) they turned out awful. At least I thought so. It's not all that hard to please guys when it comes to handing them cookies. I used the recipe off the back of the chocolate chip bag, which used to be a safe, easy, and delicious recipe. But no more. I will never trust the back of the bag again!
Anyway so I was going to use Mom Andrews' recipe for chocolate chip cookies, but Miriam forgot to email it to me. Oh Miriam. :) So I googled a recipe and came across one that seemed fairly decent. It turned out pretty awesome I think. I didn't follow it exactly...when do I ever? But I think that's half the fun of baking. Anyway here's the recipe.
- 1 c butter
- 1 c sugar
- 1 c brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 t vanilla extract (I put in just a dash more because I like the way it taste.)
- 3 c flour
- 1 t baking soda
- 2 t hot water
- 1/2 t salt
- 2 cups chocolate chips (I never listen to this. I always just put in however many I want at the time.)
Preheat oven to 350. Cream together the butter, sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Add the vanilla. Dissolve baking soda in hot water. Add to batter along with salt. Beat together. Hand stir in flour one cup at a time. Add chocolate chips. Drop by the spoonful onto greased cookie sheet. Bake for 10 minutes or until edges are golden brown.
I made quite a few cookies and then one great big one. Here's the result.
