We all need chocolate chip cookies in our life. This is a basic chocolate chip cookie recipe that can be used with any brand of chocolate chips. I found it on the back of the Ghirardelli chocolate chip bag and decided to give it a try. One thing I do recommend is to blend the mixture, before pouring in the chips, for a few minutes to make the cookie a bit thinner. The first time I made them, I didn’t do that and the cookie was more cake like.
Ingredients:
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened (I used salted butter and they were still delicious)
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs
2 cups (12 oz) chocolate chips
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 F.
Stir flour with baking soda and salt, set aside.
Beat butter with sugars and add vanilla and eggs.
Continue to beat the mixture for a few minutes.
Blend dry ingredients with sugar mixture.
Stir in chocolate chips.
Drop by tablespoon on uncreased baking sheet (I like to use parchment paper to prevent sticking).
Bake for 9-11 minutes.
