chocolate chip cookies

Hello!

I'm pretty sure I already shared this recipe but here it is again. My kids, husband, friends (you get the picture) LOVE these cookies! They don't last. I always make them for Christmas....a couple of batches. The only thing I do differently is I chop up my own chocoate chips.

I found this recipe years ago...I'm talking before I got married!

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter (226 gr)
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 eggs

• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in the vanilla and eggs one at a time. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; stir into the sugar mixture. Finally, mix in the chocolate chips. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.
3. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until edges are golden. Remove from baking sheet to cool on wire racks.

Hello!

I hope you all had a lovely Valentine's Day!!  I ate way too much chocolate...pretty sure I'm not the only one! :)

I asked my kids what baked goodies they wanted me to bake for Valentine's and they said my chocolate cupcakes and chocolate chip cookies. You can find my chocolate cupcake recipe here. I don't know whether I shared my chocolate chip cookie recipe here on the blog so here it is. If you like a nice chewy, cake like cookie than this is the recipe for you! :)

Chocolate Chip Cookies

1 cup butter (room temperature)

1/2 cup white sugar

1 cup packed brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 eggs

2 1/2 cups flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

1. Preheat oven to 190 degrees C (375 degrees F)

2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until smooth. Beat in vanilla and eggs one at a time. Combine flour, baking soda and salt; stir into the sugar mixture. Mix in the chocolate chips (I add a tad more than 2 cups...we like chocolate!) Drop by the tablespoon...or as I do it, roll into balls and place onto ungreased  cookie sheet.

3. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until edges are golden. (mine bake for exactly 8 minutes).
