DELICIOUS Chocolate Chip Cookies!

I made another cookie recipe! I pretty much used the same basic recipe for the white chocolate, lemon, blueberry cookie ... without the white chocolate, lemons or blueberries. :) But even with the basic recipe, I didn't veer too far off the beaten path. Here it is:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 eggs, room temperature
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 3 cups of all-purpose flour, minus 2 tablespoons (or 3 1/4 cups of cake flour)

-- This is where you get creative with other ingredients --

(But I didn't get very creative)

• 1 1/2 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 2 tsp pure vanilla extract 

Another alteration I made was using 1/2 cup of white sugar and 1/2 cup of sugar in the raw. 


In a bowl with an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beat after each addition. If using any extracts (vanilla), add and beat to incorporate. In a separate bowl, whisk together dry ingredients. With the mixer on low, slowly add the dry ingredients into the batter. Carefully fold in any mix-ins (chocolate chip cookies). Allow dough to cool in the refrigerator for at least an hour and up to overnight. Use a small scoop (about 1 tbsp size) and place rounded balls of dough on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or foil. Bake for 11-14 minutes at 350, until the bottoms are slightly golden brown (the edges should not brown). 

Y'all, these cookies are DELICIOUS. You should try them! And then try other additives with the basic recipe and let me know how creative you got!
