Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies
From Nestlé Toll House Café
About 1 to 1.5 hours and at 350°F
Ingredients:
2 1/4 cup of flour
1 teaspoon of baking SODA
1 teaspoon of salt ( I love using Himalayan salt)
1 cup of brown sugar
1/2 cup of cane sugar
1-2 teaspoons of vanilla ( the more the better in my opinion)
1 1/3 cup of butter (aka one stick and 1/3 of another)
2 eggs
2 cups of chocolate chips (I usually just pore in as many as looks good to me...can never have too much)
My little secret ingredient....Maple syrup!! Add a healthy drizzle into the mixing bowl at the end
Process:
Okay now we have our ingredients all grouped together in the order that they are combined and added together.
First combine the 2 1/4 cup of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking SODA, and 1 teaspoon of salt in a small separate bowl
Next combine 1/2 cup of cane sugar, 1 cup of brown sugar, and 1-2 teaspoon of vanilla into the mixer and start mixing on a low speed
Heat up the 1 and 1/3 cup of butter (aka 1 and 1/3 stick of butter, I usually use unsalted) for about 15 seconds until it is no longer cold but also not melted and then add that to the sugar and vanilla mixture
(If you accidently melt your butter fully or enough that it loses its shape, just chill the
dough for longer after mixing all the ingredients!)
Once the butter has creamed a little bit, add in the two eggs into the mix and wait till it fully mixes
Now slowly add the flour, baking soda, and salt mixture into the mixing bowl and continue adding small amounts until fully combined
Add in about 2 cups of chocolate chips or as many as looks good to you (can never have too much chocolate)
For an extra secret spin (what I love to do) add in a drizzle of maple syrup
Once fully mixed, cover the dough and place in the refrigerator for about 40 minutes to
cool the dough and make it less sticky and heat the oven to 350°
After the dough is chilled, cover baking sheets with parchment paper (NOT wax paper, trust me) and start rolling the dough in a ball size that would be like two quarters laying next to each other in width
Once the balls are formed place on baking pan OR what I love to do is squish the dough into disks to make the perfect crispy, thin cookie
After lining the baking sheet with as many cookies as will fit, place into the oven for 6 minutes or until the cookies have a light brown color along the edges
When you remove the cookies keep them on the pan to continue to bake and eventually remove once cooled
Continue to bake the remainder of the dough and enjoy the best chocolate chip cookies!
