My favorite Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies:
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2
cups 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
3
to 4 cups milk chocolate chips (about 24 ounces)
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In bowl, whisk together flour and baking soda; set aside. In the bowl of
an electric mixer, combine butter with
both sugars; beat on medium speed until light and fluffy. Reduce speed to
low; add salt, vanilla and eggs. Beat until well mixed, about 1 minute.
Add flour mixture; mix until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips.
- Drop heaping tablespoon-size
balls of dough about 2 inches apart on baking sheets lined with parchment
paper.
- Bake until cookies are
golden around the edges, but still soft in the center, 8 to 10 minutes.
Remove from oven and let cool on baking sheet.
Don’t you wish you still lived here, Jon?
Superbaby with Bob the Builder made out of Legos and covered in sand in Carlsbad:
Had a great trip with the fam to San Diego! Here’s Superbaby playing at Legoland (which he thought was almost as fun as running through Albertsons):
