Chocolate Chip Cookies

Tuesday, June 14, 2011

My kids love the store bought chocolate chip cookies. So, instead of allowing them to eat all the preservatives contained in them, I decided to make them at home. This easy recipe is from The Hershey's Kitchens.

Difficulty level: Easy
Preparation time: 15 min
Cooking/ baking time: 8-10 min/ batch
Makes: about 60 cookies

Ingredients:


Butter: 1 cup, softened
Sugar: 3/4 cup
Light brown sugar: 3/4 cup
Vanilla extract: 1 tsp
Eggs: 2
Baking soda: 1 tsp
All-purpose flour/ maida: 2 1/4 cups
Salt: 1/2 tsp
Milk chocolate chips: 2 cups
Chopped nuts: 1 cup, optional

Heat oven to 375 degree F.

Beat the butter, sugars and vanilla in a large bowl, with a whisk until creamy. Add eggs and beat well. Sift together baking soda, flour and salt. Gradually add to the butter mixture and beating well until well blended. Stir in chips and nuts, if needed. Use a cookie drop to drop  the cookies about 2 inches apart. If you don't have that fancy gadget, just use the teaspoon as the measure.

Bake 8 to 10 min, or until lightly browned. Cool slightly; remove from cookie sheet to a cooling rack. Cool completely.
