Chocolate Chip Cookies
My controversial chocolate chip cookie opinion is that milk chocolate chips taste way better than semi-sweet, and I am willing to die on this hill.
Ingredients
2 cups and 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup butter, softened salted or unsalted is fine
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup dark brown sugar packed
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 large eggs
2 cups milk chocolate chips (other types of chocolate can be used)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, with an electric mixer beat together butter, sugars, and vanilla until well combined.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition.
Add in half the flour, along with all the baking soda and salt. Mix by hand to combine, then add the remaining flour and chocolate chips.
If possible, cover and chill the dough for at least one hour, but not more than 24 hours.
When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 375
Scoop dough into 1-inch balls and place onto an un-greased baking sheet, leaving 2 inches of space between cookies.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown. Store tightly covered.
