Last night around 8 PM, I told Jeremy that I wanted some cookies. He pointed out that we have about 4 different types of store bought cookies in the pantry. But... that would be the easy way to satisfy a cookie craving right? Of course I did not want to take the easy route and instead decided I should find a good chocolate chip cookie recipe and start baking. I mixed the butter, sugar and brown sugar together and went to grab the next ingredients. I looked at the recipe and thought, "Sh*t, we don't have any eggs. Why the heck would I start mixing things together before checking to make sure I had all the ingredients?!?" Lucky enough, there were 2 eggs in the fridge (the exact amount I needed). Phew, crisis averted!!! I finished mixing everything together and then put those bad boys in the oven, hoping that they tasted as yummy as the dough did. Ya... ya... ya... I know that uncooked cookie dough is not good for you, but it's just sooooo good! And I kind of figure that if I get food poisoning from eating raw cookie dough, I will just lose all the weight I put on from eating the cookies. Just kidding.... maybe. I'm not one to toot my own horn, but these cookies turned out FREAKING delicious!
Ingredients:
1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 tsp small-medium coarse sea salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
2 1/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (I used 1 1/4 chocolate chips and one cup peanut butter chips)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 360. Cream butter, sugar and brown sugar until it is fluffy. Add both eggs and vanilla and beat for an additional 2 minutes. Add baking soda, baking powder, salt and flour and mix until blended well. Add chocolate chips until well distributed. The cookie batter should be somewhat thick. Drop about 2 Tbsp of cookie dough on greased cookie sheet approximately 1-2 inches apart. Bake for 12-14 minutes until the edges are golden brown. Remove from oven and leave the cookies on the cookie sheet for about two minutes. After a couple minutes, transfer cookies to a cooling rack. Allow the cookies to cool on the rack for at least 3 minutes.
Enjoy!!!
Happy Friday!!!
