I *borrowed* this recipe from Camille Style Events. She is an event planner in Austin and always has the cutest ideas for parties. I will definitely *borrow* more of her ideas in the future! (fun dinner parties here i come!)
So here it is!
The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies
Makes 18 large cookies.
- 2 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 12 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly (1 1/2 sticks)
- 1 cup brown sugar (light or dark)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg + 1 large egg yolk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1-2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Heat oven to 325 degrees. Adjust oven racks to upper- and lower-middle positions. Mix flour, salt, and baking soda together in medium bowl; set aside.
Either by hand or with electric mixer, mix butter and sugars until thoroughly blended. Mix in egg, yolk, and vanilla. Add dry ingredients; mix until just combined. Stir in chips.
Form scant 1/4 cup dough into ball. Holding dough ball using fingertips of both hands, pull into two equal halves. Rotate halves ninety degrees and, with jagged surfaces exposed, join halves together at their base, again forming a single cookie, being careful not to smooth dough’s uneven surface. Place formed dough onto parchment paper-lined cookie sheets.
Bake, reversing cookie sheets’ positions halfway through baking, until cookies are light golden brown and outer edges start to harden yet centers are still soft and puffy, 15 to 18 minutes. Cool cookies on cookie sheets.
And there you have it, wonderful cookies! I just love baking and I really especially love baking for other people. And that means I can still bake and try it out but won't feel tempted to eat the entire batch if I give them away to people.So try out the recipe and tell me what you think! And feel free to share any other delicious baking recipes with me. I'm always looking for new ones to add to my collection of "recipes to try"!
Have a wonderful Sunday!
