Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies

Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe
Yield: 40 cookies

You're craving chocolate chip cookies, what is your go to recipe?  For me, it depends on whether I want a "normal" cookie or an ooey-gooey one.  Can't decide?  Then try my take on the Nestle Toll-House Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe.  You can never, ever, go wrong with these!

I made these cookies last week, and  took 1/2 to work and 1/2 to my parent's house...they were all gone within 2 days, and people came asking for more.

Ingredients:
1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter (I use Land O'Lakes Unsalted Butter)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/2 tbsp. vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2+ cups Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips (I use Nestle Toll House)

Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

Recipe:

  1. Beat butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar in a mixer until creamy. 
  2. Add vanilla.  I have stopped measuring my vanilla, but I usually add ~1/2 tbsp...sometimes 1 tbsp.  Don't worry, unless you add a 1/4 cup you cannot go wrong.
  3. Add in eggs, beating well after each addition.
  4. Add in baking soda, salt, and about 1/4 cup of the flour mixture.  Beat until mostly combined, then gradually add the rest of the flour.
  5. Stir in chocolate chips.  I usually do this by hand with a spatula.  I always use an overflowing cup of chocolate chips, so in reality I add ~2 1/4 cups of chocolate to the cookies.
  6. Scoop cookies onto tray.  I like to use ice cream scoopers, as it allows my cookies to be uniform.  I currently use the Zerroll scoop, size 2040 (the purple one).  These make nice sized cookies.  If you want mini-cookies, then use a smaller scoop
  7. Bake cookies for 9-11 minutes.  Let cool for 1-2 minutes, then move to the counter or cookie racks.
  8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 until there is no more dough left! 


Enjoy them while hot, or with a glass of milk!
