... & I'm VERY picky with chocolate chip cookies!
They were probably the first thing I learned to bake "from scratch"-- following the ingredient list on the back of a bag of TollHouse milk chocolate chips. This is just a variation of those same ingredients (minus any baking powder), yet the ratio makes a much more perfect cookie.
Perfect, to me means they get that good molasses flavor, and turn out slightly crispy on the outside yet still soft in the middle.
These are the perfect cookies.
ingredients:
1 cup flour
pinch salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 stick unsalted butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup light brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract (the real stuff)
1 egg
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1. whisk together dry ingredients in small bowl; set aside.
2. cream butter for two minutes. add sugars and cream until well blended. add vanilla and egg.
3. slowly blend whisked flour mixture into the butter mixture.
4. stir in chocolate chips, refrigerate for half an hour.
5. place in rounded balls on parchment paper or a well greased cookie sheet.
6. bake at 375 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
