Chocolate Chip Cookies

I love a warm gooey chocolate chip cookie. Right out of the oven? Yes, please.

Chris would be perfectly happy with a store bought box of chocolate chip cookies. Not me. Yuck.

Chocolate Chip Cookies!
What you need-
2 1/4 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup butter (room temperature)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup light brown sugar (packed)

1 tsp. vanilla extract

2 large eggs
1 12 ounce pkg. chocolate chips

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, and salt with a fork. In a larger bowl, beat together the butter, both sugars, and vanilla with a mixer until creamy.

It needs to be creamier than the above picture. When it looks more like the below picture, add in the eggs, and beat until combined.

Next, gradually add in the flour mixture. I add about a third of the flour mixture at a time and mix after each addition until I've added all the flour. If you have a stand mixer then that's probably not necessary but I don't, so I do.

After you've added all of the flour and the batter is nice and combined toss in your chocolate chips. No more mixing required. Just stir the chocolate in with a rubber spatula.

I hate the flash. Stupid camera has a mind of it's own.

Drop the batter by rounded spoonfuls onto a baking sheet.

Bake 7 to 9 minutes depending on how chewy/crispy you like your cookies. I like mine chewy. And gooey. But I already said that.

Get yourself a tall glass of milk and enjoy!
