My family loves chocolate chip cookies. This is the most requested cookie in my household, even though I can make some pretty good baked goods ... pies, cakes & loaves ... it's the simple things that they seem to love best. A couple of weeks ago I asked my son if he would like me to bake him something for when he came home. He'd been under a lot of stress with the workload at school, and end-of-semester exams. He immediately said "chocolate chip cookies". And I was happy to oblige ...
Would you care to make some yourself? Here's my recipe:
Favourite Chocolate Chip Cookies
2 cups all purpose flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup butter, softened
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 brown sugar, packed
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1-1/2 cups chocolate chips*
Combine flour, baking soda, salt & chocolate chips. Set aside. Cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Blend in flour mixture. Gently roll into 1-1/2-inch balls and place 2-inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake in 375F oven for 8 - 11 minutes until golden brown. Makes about 3 dozen
*ok, so maybe I put in the entire 350g bag of chocolate chips rather than measure them out ;)
These are nice & buttery and don't last long!
so keep the lid on
Thanks for stopping by!

Yummm.......they look delicious! We love chocolate chip cookies around here too. :)
ReplyDeleteThey look awesome Wendy!! You are an awesome baker!! I have never seen anyone else's cookies look so much like my mom's but yours do...which only means one thing...they ROCK! A wonderful day to you friend! YUMMY!!! Nicole xoxo
ReplyDeleteYum! I love choc chip cookies too and if you use white choc chips they are especially delicious!
ReplyDeleteAnd the chances of the lid actually being kept on are...... They delicious though and were very well received by your son I am sure! xx
ReplyDeleteThey sound wonderful, Wendy. Thank you for sharing your recipe. I love to make them too, easy and everyone loves them!
ReplyDeleteThey sound rather fantastic.... might have to try them if only to compare with our current favourite choc chip cookie recipe. I wish we could buy chocolate chips in 350g bags instead of our puny little 100g bags though!
ReplyDeleteAwwwwwwww, a sweet old standby, which says "home" and "love." I'm sure he enjoyed them.
ReplyDeleteAnd what amazing photos of them, you post!
Gentle hugs,
Tessa~

The problem is, I make the cookies and then I end up eating them. The rest of the family has much better self control than me.
ReplyDeleteChocolate Chip cookies are my absolute favourites, no nuts or sultanas added, just as is! Mel x
ReplyDeleteThese look absolutely mouth watering delicious! Is there any better tasting than one of these delectable little morsels of pure buttery and chocolatey goodness! Great recipe!!
ReplyDeleteWarm hugs!

Hello Wendy! It looks like I have fallen behind in my blogging :( Moms make the best chocolate chip cookies ever. I am sure these really lifted your son's spirits when he came home from school. I can remember those days when school was so ick. Next time I make chocolate chip cookies, I will give this recipe a try!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, Wendy, these look so good! I could just do with a couple to go with my mug of tea ...
ReplyDeleteThanks for popping over to Thriftwood earlier, I've been getting on with having clear outs too ... It does help declutter the mind too! I'll be visiting g the charity shops too next week ... So glad that you can feel spring in the air ... It's about time you had some warmth!
Love Claire xx
Wendy my mouth is watering just looking at these as they look absolutely scrumptious. Am sure your son had a lovely time eating these. Have a fabulous weekend, hugs and loves
