The ingredients you will need are:
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 sticks (8 ounces) salted butter, at room temperature
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 firmly packed light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
Directions:
1. The first thing you do is preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and in a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla. Next you add the eggs, one at a time and scrape the sides of the bowl if needed.
3. After the two mixtures are all mixed, "beat the flower mixture in parts of three until combined" (Pansino 32). This step i think is such a important step because if you dont put the flour into three parts, it would get very messy and i know that no one want to clean up a mess of flour so i made sure i divided them into three parts and luckily, i didn't make a mess!
4. Next you would fold in the chocolate chips and place two tablespoon of sough per cookie onto the baking sheet. This part i kind of changed up a bit because i am making these for a specific occasion and needed different sizes but the recipe says 2 tablespoons of dough per cookie.
5. After the oven is done pre-heating, put the cookies into the oven for 7 to 9 minutes and after they are done, take them out to cool completely. I decided to set my timer for 8 minutes because it is in the middle of seven and nine. In the book, the author specifically says when cooling the cookies, not to place them in the freezer but let them air cool (Pansino 21). When you place the cookies in the freezer, the cookies start to crack so i made sure that i didn't put them int the freezer and it took for me about 30 minutes for all the cookies to cool and finally be complete and ready to eat! If you have a wire rack, that would be a better place to place the cookies overnight and wake up to them fully ready to be gobbled down!
Final Presentation:
The total cookies that i had when i was done was 52 so grab all your friends and get ready to tear
these cookies apart! When i first look at the cookie, it looks amazing and delicious but when i bit into it, something was off. It wasn't that it didn't taste good, but it was very chewy. The cookie dough wasn't cooked all the way which to be honest, i wasn't mad because i like cookie dough but my advice for people who are trying this recipe out, is to bake them for 9 minutes just so you can be safe and no eat chewy cookie dough. But overall, they were still super delicious and looks amazing. The cookie was so chocolaty because of all of the chocolate chips that were added so there was chocolate in every bite which is awesome! In conclusion, this cookie recipe is an amazing recipe that everyone should try because trust me, the outcome is the best!

| There is also another plate full of cookies that couldn't fit in the picture! Question: What is your favorite cookie and why? Also do you like to eat cookies when they are still hot and fresh out of the oven, or when they have been sitting around for a while and why? |

Hello Jason. Those cookies look delicious! To answer your question(s), I love a chocolate chip cookie because of the chocolate or a snicker doodle cookie because of the sugary topping (especially around the holidays). Personally, I like to wait a bit for the cookies to cool but then I eat them warm because the chocolate melts in my mouth. Question for you: What book did you get this recipe from? Also, if you were to add anything to this recipe what would it be and why? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThank you Angelina for your reply and to answer your question, i got these recipes from the book that is cited down at the end of this blog (Nerdy Nummies) and if i were to add anything to this recipe, i would like too add maybe more vanilla extract because the vanilla was kind of faint and i love the taste of vanilla!
DeleteMy favorite cookie is a Vanilla Chocolate Chip cookie because I love both of the flavors and blended together, they work very well. Although, (in relation to Angelina's question) I feel like it is a little bit risky to add anything else to this recipe unless you are a very experienced baker. In my cooking experience, adding something, no matter how little or how much, can drastically change the outcome of your recipe. For example, adding a 1/3 a cup more of flour can change your batter from cookies to cake. Just keep that in mind!
ReplyDeleteThat is true. I was thinking more along the lines of adding nuts or something though..
DeleteThank you Aiden for replying and i also agree with what you are saying, changing the recipe dramatically can/will affect the outcome of the cookies and i also love vanilla chocolate chip cookies!
DeleteHi Jason! Those cookies look yummy to eat. My favorite cookie is the original Chocolate Chip Cookies because I just love chocolate and how it melts in my mouth. It's a great snack even though it is on the sweeter side. To me, I like to eat cookies when they have been sitting around for awhile because it's just the right temperature to not burn your mouth.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this comment Nathaniel! I agree that eating the cookies right after they come out of the oven is not the smartest choice because when you do, it's too hot and since it is hot, you focus more on your mouth burning rather than the actual flavor of the cookie.
DeleteHi Jason! To answer your question, my favorite kinds of cookies are hands-down oatmeal raisin. I don't exactly know why, their flavor and texture just resonate with me. I also love to eat them when they're still warm. Most cookies that I've had tend to get a bit stiff and crunchy after they completely cool down, but I prefer the really soft cookies. However, it's a bit problematic as sometimes I like to just eat the cookies almost immediately after they come out of the oven, but, for obvious reasons, that can be a tad problematic.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this comment Drew! I also love oatmeal-raisin cookies! I also like to eat them warm because they are not to hard or not to soft. Also its not to hot or cold, it's just right!
