Chocolate Chip Cookie


As i mentioned earlier in my sugar cookie recipe, the cookie that i love most is the chocolate chip cookie. I tried 3 different recipes and this by far is the one that i liked. Its crispy on the sides and soft in the middle. Exactly as any cookie would be. With this recipe, you get more than 50 cookies. So start baking. .. And enjoy it as it melts in your mouth.

21/4 cup all purpose flour
1tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup butter (2 sticks)
2 eggs
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar (if you r interested in baking, its a good idea to have a carton of brown sugar as most of the recipes calls in for it)
1tsp vanilla extract (i guess its ok to leave this )
1-2 cups chocolate chips (the actual recipe called in for 2 cups, i put 1 cup and still each cookie has more than 5 chips in it, so it actually depends on how sweet or chocolaty you want the cookies to be)
1 cup chopped nuts (optional, but i would highly recommend putting pecans , as it gave the cookies a crunchy taste)

Preheat oven to 375F. Add baking soda and salt to the flour and mix thoroughly. If you buy white lily self rising flour , they already have baking soda and salt mixed in it, so u need not add it. So pls check your all purpose flour ingredients. Soften butter(microwave would be a good choice) and add sugar,brown sugar and vanilla in a large bowl. Now beat in eggs. Gradually add the flour mix and mix well. Finally stir in chocolate chips and nuts.
Take a baking pan, place a cookie sheet (i usually go for non stick al foil). Take a tablespoon and drop the cookie mix(c pic below) in the pan about an inch and half apart. Bake for about 8-10 minutes or until its lightly brown(c pic below). Remove from pan and let it cool on a wire rack /tissue paper. There you go, your own chocolate chip cookies. And dont think you r making 50-60 cookies, so it will last a long time...I can bet you that it wont last more a week..You just cant stop eating ...Enjoy...
