I found a recipe a while back claiming to produce perfect chocolate chip cookies. I saved the recipe, but was skeptical about the outcome. Yesterday I was craving chocolate, so I busted out the perfect chocolate chip cookie recipe. I will have to say these are some pretty good cookies and the batter may be one of the best I’ve ever eaten. The recipe calls for a lot of vanilla and I think that may be what makes them taste so good. Jed and Josiah couldn’t stop eating them last night, so I know I succeeded!
Here is the perfect recipe:
Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies
2 sticks butter (meaning 1 cup butter)
3/4 cup white sugar
1 1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla
2 eggs, slightly beaten
3 cups flour
3/4 teaspoons baking soda
3/4 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
3 cups chocolate chips
In a mixer, cream the butter. Add the vanilla, sugar and slightly beaten eggs. Mix in the dry ingredients. Stir in the chocolate chips. Drop on a greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 11-13 minutes.
** Sidenote…I recently read that you are supposed to cream the butter for at least 3 minutes, never in my life had I done this, but last night I did and I do think that it helped. I always use my kitchen aid, so y’all choosing the manual route, stretch before making these cookies-it will be a workout!

Well, I am just so devastated that I wasn’t there for these yummy bundles of goodness! I will have to try this recipe out.

I’m exhausted but I’m gonna try and make these tonight. I’ve been craving chocolate chip cookies since before Kharis arrived. See you tomorrow!
