Sometimes I’m just in the mood for a quick, simple, dependable recipe. Who doesn’t love chocolate chip cookies? This recipe is a classic, straight forward recipe for chewy chocolate chip cookies. Sometimes we mix in walnuts or Heath Toffee Bits. I got this recipe from Cook’s, it’s a keeper!
Start by mixing the dry ingredients in their own bowl. Nothing fancy just whisk together so the ingredients are well mixed.
| 3 1/3 cups | flour |
| dash | salt |
| 3/4 teaspoon | baking soda |
In a separate bowl, it’s time to starting creaming the eggs and sugar. Start by creaming the butter with the sugars, then add the eggs and vanilla.
| 2 sticks | butter |
| 1 1/4 cups | brown sugar |
| 1/2 cup | granulated sugar |
| 2 | eggs |
| 2 | egg yolks |
| teaspoon | vanilla |
Now it’s time to stir in the stars of the show. Of course chocolate chips are necessary, anything else is optional.
|
2 cups |
chocolate chips |
| hand full | walnuts |
| hand full | Heath Toffee bits |
I like to roll them into balls so they cook evenly. Lay them out on the cookie sheet. They go in a 325 degree oven.
I always check on them at 8 minutes, but they could take as long as 10-12 minutes, depending on the day / oven.
Ok, now go make friends with your enemies, everyone is a sucker for a warm & chewy chocolate chip cookie!
