Got a sweet tooth?? This week on "Mmm... did you make that?", we bring to you CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES!!!!!!! This classic treat is a favorite of people everywhere!! This week we're keeping it classic by not adding all the extra stuff like M&Ms or peanut butter chips and so forth. Of course you're free to add some extra stuff if you like! Make sure you have a gallon of ice cold milk (or in SoHo's case, soy milk) in your refrigerator because these cookies are looking to marry!!! Here's the recipe for this week! ENJOY!!!!
- 8 ounces (unsalted) butter, soften by letting it sit at room temperature
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups bittersweet chocolate chips
- Line a sheet pan with parchment paper
- In a mixer bowl fitted with a paddle attachment, cream butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy (at least 3-4) minutes
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each
- Add vanilla and stir
- Toss dry ingredients together in a bowl and add to buttter/egg mixture, stirring only until incorporated
- Add chocolate chunks (and nuts or you're little extras if you are gonna use them)
- Chill dough if too warm to handle
- To bake, form dough into rough balls the size of large walnuts and place on the parchment-lined pan at lease 2 inches apart.
- Bake in a 325 degree oven (no fan) for 8-10 minutes
- Baked cookies should be lightly browned and still a little soft in the center
- Remove from the oven
- Remove cookies carefully with a metal spatula and place on a cooling rack. The carry over heat will finish cooking the cookies.
SoHo has not taken pictures of her chocolate cookies so she went in search of a nice picture. As she continued her search, she came across this picture of milk and cookies with a cookie dunker - very interesting...
