Since it’s finals week, I need my staples to survive: iced coffee, chai tea lattes, candy, chocolate, cheez-its, and chocolate chip cookies. My dearest sister made me batch to take with me back to LA this week, since I didn’t have time to bake myself 🙂 My sister isn’t much of a baker, but she claims that she can make the best chocolate chip cookies and nothing else. She got this recipe from allrecipes.com a while ago and has been using it ever since. I can definitely see why! It’s exactly what it claims to be… “best big, fat, & chewy.” That’s another chocolate chip cookie recipe to add to my list. I’ll be living off of these until Thursday at 1PM.. then I’ll be done with school!!
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets or line with parchment paper.
- Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt; set aside.
- In a medium bowl, cream together the melted butter, brown sugar and white sugar until well blended. Beat in the vanilla, egg, and egg yolk until light and creamy. Mix in the sifted ingredients until just blended. Stir in the chocolate chips by hand using a wooden spoon. Drop cookie dough 1/4 cup at a time onto the prepared cookie sheets. Cookies should be about 3 inches apart.
- Bake for 15 to 17 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the edges are lightly toasted. Cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
I recognize this recipe from AR and haven’t used another recipe since I’ve tried this one! Delish~ :9
Those look delicious, and great photo!
Lol… isn’t every chocolate chip cookie recipe, the BEST chocolate chip cookie recipe? 🙂
These actually do look pretty good… I’ll have to give this recipe a try.
Thanks.
I’ve made this recipe many times and it IS a great one! Lucky you. Wait, I don’t wish I was a student. 😉
They came out perfect… a little crispy on the edges, gooey in the middle, just how we love them.
