AMAZING CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Ingredients

3 Cups All-Purpose Unbleached Flour

1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda

1 1/4 teaspoons salt

3/4 cup LIGHT brown sugar

1 cup Granulated Sugar

2 sticks unsalted butter

3 Large eggs

1 1/2 tablespoons vanilla extract

2 Cups Semi-Sweet (organic!) chocolate chips

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375F

2. Sift the flour, baking soda and salt together and place in medium sized bowl

3. Melt butter until it is very soft (about 1.5 minutes in my microwave)

4. Put softened butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar in large bowl. Mix until it becomes a light brown color and is thoroughly combined (almost fluffy texture, this will take a while so be patient!)

5. Crack open 1 egg and beat lightly. Add 1 tablespoon plus 3/4 tablespoon to sugar-butter mixture. Mix. Add eggs one at a time until combined.

6. Add Vanilla extract and mix until combined. Add flour mixture slowly, a little at a time, until it is combined in large bowl with sugar and butter and forms a dough.

7. Stir in chocolate chips until combined evenly throughout.

8. Butter or line a large cookie sheet with wax paper. Using an ice cream scoop (so that all cookies are the same size) scoop balls of dough onto sheet, leaving about 2 inches around each one to expand in oven (trust me you will need to make this in batches...)

9. Cook 11 minutes or until tops are just starting to turn golden brown.

10. Allow to cool and consume hungrily :)
