I am a Cookie Person
My Favourite is Chocolate chip. How about you?
Are you a cookie person?
If I have to pick any kind of desserty thing to have with a cup of coffee it's going to be cookies. I've loved baking since I was small and could read the measurements to make cookies but couldn't yet read all the directions - so my mom numbered the order that they needed to be added to the bowl so that I could be independent in the kitchen.
In my twenties I used to make really elaborate desserts and my friends nick-named me 'Martha." Since I've become a parent, I’ve returned to cookies because they are quick and well-loved by my kids (and me, I make them for myself, let's be honest here).
So, a quick hello today to share with you my favourite chocolate chip cookie recipe. I've practiced and perfected this one over the years, I hope you enjoy it. And - TOP TIP - when you are tired of having broken up chocolate Easter bunnies in your refrigerator, toss them on the cutting board, chop them up, and use them to make these cookies. Yum!
Julieanne’s Tested-till-Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies
INGREDIENTS:
1 c butter
1/2 c white sugar
1 1/2 c brown sugar
2 eggs
2 1/2 c flour
3/4 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 c chocolate chips
DIRECTIONS:
Mix the butter, both sugars, and eggs together in a large bowl until you have a nice creamy consistency.
In a separate bowl mix the dry ingredients together (all but the chocolate chips). Add the dry ingredients 1/2 cup at a time to the wet mixture mixing well. Last, mix in the chocolate chips.
Drop teaspoon sized balls onto non-stick cookie sheet (or use parchment paper).
Bake at 350*C for 7-10 minutes. Watch the first batch to see how long to bake as all ovens are different. Take out of the oven when the edges begin to brown but the middle doesn't look quite cooked, then allow to sit on the baking tray for five minutes after you take them out. This makes for a lovely, chewy cookie.
As always, I love hearing from you (it makes my day!) so please do leave a comment, hit reply, or send me a message on Instagram.
Have a wonderful week!
