I've been craving cookies for a few days now. Okay- weeks. Not just any ol cookie, but chocolate chip cookies. Tonight I broke down and made some. Okay- had my daughter make some. But she wanted to. I didn't force her!
I will say, 100%, that my craving is sated!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons hot water
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350*F.
- Combine butter and sugars. Beat until smooth.
- Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well between each one. Add vanilla.
- Dissolve baking soda in hot water. Add to bowl. Add salt. Stir until well blended.
- Add in flour, one cup at a time, mixing well between each addition.
- Stir in chocolate chips.
- Drop by teaspoon (or tablespoon or whatever gives you the size cookie you like) onto a baking sheet. I always very lightly spray mine with cooking spray, else I never get them back off.
- Bake for 10 minutes, or until edges are lightly browned.
