Chocolate Chip Cookies

Recipe No: 47

I got this recipe from a Brown Sugar cover and decided to give it a try. I was a bit skeptical at first since it contains only less amount of butter when compared to most of the other recipes. But when the cookies turned out to be delicious, I felt that this is a keeper and never tried to change since.

Ingredients                                         Makes 20-25 cookies

• Flour…………………..……...........2 ¼ cup
• Baking soda…………………........3/4 Teaspoon
• Salt…………………………............1/2 Teaspoon
• Butter………………………...........1/2 cup
• Brown Sugar………………..........3/4 Cup
• Granulated Sugar…………….....3/4 Cup
• Vanilla extract……………..........1 Teaspoon
• Eggs………………………..............2 large
• Semisweet Chocolate Chips….3/4 Cup

Method of Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 375˚F/190˚C.
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread a thin layer of butter on it. (You can use a cooking spray instead.)
3. Sift together Flour, Salt and Baking Soda and keep aside.
4. Melt the butter and cool it slightly. Combine it with Brown sugar, White sugar, Eggs and Vanilla. Beat this till light and fluffy.
5. Add the flour mixture and mix gently till everything is just combined. Don’t over mix after adding the flour.
6. Add the Chocolate chips and mix.
7. Scoop out heaping tablespoons of the cookie dough and place them on the parchment paper 2 inches apart.
8. Wet your fingers and flatten the top of the scoops.
9. Place it in the middle of the preheated oven and bake till golden on the edges for about 12 to 16 minutes.
10. Once out of the oven, let the cookie rest on the cookie sheet itself for a minute and then transfer to a cooling rack.
11. I love to eat them warm. But if you are storing it, store it in an airtight container after cooling thoroughly.

Notes: The time of the baking depends on the consistency you want. Around 10-12 minutes the cookie will be soft and chewy. Around 14-16 minutes it will be crunchy. In both cases it should be soft in the middle when you take it out of the oven. It will harden when it cools.
Instead of Chocolate chips you can use broken Chocolate pieces too.

You can store this cookie for at least a week at room temperature and if you like a warm cookie, just heat it in a microwave for a few seconds.
