Classic Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies

I make chocolate chip cookies more than any other kind of cookie.  I haven’t posted until now because – well, honestly, I thought all recipes were about the same!  But after sampling a few other family recipes recently, and my husband raving about mine (aww, shucks) apparently not every chocolate chip cookie is created equal!  This recipe is a keeper, for sure.  I just didn’t realize it’s not the same one everyone else is already using. (A quick check on the bag of chocolate chips confirms it – this is different!  Who knew??) ;)

This recipe makes a nice soft cookie with the perfect balance of salt and sweet.  My husband even has my daughter saying “mama, I love your cookies!”  Chocolate chip cookies are always a classic!

Ingredients
  • 2 eggs
  • ¾ c. sugar
  • ¾ c. brown sugar
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 c. softened butter (or shortening)
  • 2¼ c. flour
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 bag semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375F degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. This recipe yields 4-5 dozen cookies.
  2. Cream together sugars, eggs, vanilla and butter.
  3. In a separate bowl, sift together flour and baking soda. Mix your flour mixture into your wet ingredients, adding a little at a time.
  4. Stir in chocolate chips.
  5. Drop by tablespoonfuls (about the size of a walnut) onto baking sheets.
  6. Bake for 8-9 minutes. For soft, chewy cookies, you will need to remove them from the oven before they look totally "done" - as soon as the edges begin to brown. For a crisper cookie, bake one minute longer. You may need to adjust baking times based on the size of your cookies, and your altitude and weather pressure (yes, it makes a difference)!

Hello, and welcome! I'm Adrianne, an artist, author, designer, and blogger in mid Michigan. I work from home, chase my two kids, and this once-city-girl is learning how to care for chickens and adjusting to life out in the country. I have a compulsion for daily creativity... sometimes it's jewelry-making, paper crafting, metal stamping, mixing and baking, or giving new life to recycled items. But with 2 young kids, time is short! My goal here at Happy Hour Projects is to share projects and tips that you can do in an hour or less. The ideas you find here are designed to add a little creativity in your day, no matter how much (or how little) time you have!
