Life’s Sweet!

Who likes cookies? We love cookies and we also like baking! Heres’ a choc chip cookie recipe that you will want to make again and again!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup salted butter 
  • 1 cup white granulated sugar 
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 tsps vanilla extract 
  • 2 large free range eggs
  • 3 cups all purpose unbleached flour 
  • 1 tsp baking soda 
  • ½ tsp baking powder 
  • ½ tsp salt 
  • 2 cups of semi-sweet choc chips 

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a separate bowl mix flour, baking soda, salt, baking powder. 
  3. Cream together butter and sugars until combined – I used stand mixer for this.
  4. Beat in eggs and vanilla.
  5. Mix in the dry ingredients.
  6. Add chocolate chips and mix well.
  7. Depending on how large you like your cookies, you can use an ice cream scoop or use 3tbsp of dough at a time into balls and place them evenly spaced on your prepared cookie sheets. I used an ice cream scoop, yield of approx. 24 cookies.
  8. Bake in preheated oven for approximately 8-10 minutes. Take them out when they are just starting to turn brown. DO NOT OVER BAKE!
  9. Let them sit on the cookie sheet for 2 minutes before transferring to cooling rack.

These cookies do not last long in our house, however you can make this dough to freeze. I usually roll the dough into a long sausage and wrap in cling film and freeze. You can slice the frozen dough in to discs and bake from frozen – just add a couple of of minutes to the bake time.
