Soft and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe


For the last two days my son who is 28 months old been asking for cookies. He really never had cookies before but he was watching some cartoon when they were eating cookies , so it got stuck in his mind. I'm not really a cookie person , I never buy or make them and that's why he never had them before. So I decided yesterday to make him some cookies.I made this recipe using the big milk chocolate chips, next time I will be using the small size semi sweet chocolate chips.The recipe was easy and quick  and they were done in no time. I got this recipe from Martha Stewart. Hope you like them :)


Ingredients

Yields about 3 dozen small cookies.
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed light-brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups (about 12 ounces) semisweet and/or milk chocolate chips

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda; set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the butter with both sugars; beat on medium speed until light and fluffy. Reduce speed to low; add the salt, vanilla, and eggs. Beat until well mixed, about 1 minute. Add flour mixture; mix until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  2. Drop heaping tablespoon-size balls of dough about 2 inches apart on baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
  3. Bake until cookies are golden around the edges, but still soft in the center, 8 to 10 minutes( mine took about 12 mins). Remove from oven, and let cool on baking sheet 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack, and let cool completely. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature up to 1 week.

I had time to take a pic of every step of the recipe , so for those visual ones out there I'm sure you will like these pictures.
