Chocolate Chip Cookies
I love chocolate chip cookies but haven’t found an awesome like store-bought soft chewy chocolate chip cookies. Last time I was at the store chocolate chips were on sale so I bought 2 bags, I decided on this rainy Saturday would be the perfect time to try a new recipe.
I am also submitting this to Joelen’s September Tasty Tools, this months tool is bakewear. When Adam and I moved we got rid of all of our cheap bakewear and are slowly buying new stuff. We have found a love of Wilton bakewear, I have three cookie sheets and NOTHING sticks and they are so easy to clean.
My Big, Fat Chocolate Chip Cookies (From: Tyler Florence)
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1 (8-ounce) block dark chocolate, coarsely chopped (I used chocolate chips)
Place the butter, sugar, and brown sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer; cream together on medium speed until light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Beat in the vanilla and eggs. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture and continue to mix until a smooth batter forms. Turn off the mixer and fold in the chocolate chunks using the spatula.
To form the cookies, scoop about 1/4 cup of cookie dough into your hands and roll it around into a ball; place them about 3-inches apart onto the prepared cookie sheets; you should get about 4 cookies on each pan. Press down the tops of the dough slightly and bake until the cookies are light brown, 12 minutes for chewy cookies, or about 15 minutes for crispy cookies.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with remaining dough/cookie sheets.
