The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies EV-er

My husband is the cook around here. I have a few mainstay dishes I’ve repeated over and over through the years but I mostly stick to baking. I love chocolate chip cookies. It’s more than just a love, it’s a ritual I’ve had for most of my life. Most afternoons I eat a fresh baked chocolate chip cookie. Yeah, you heard me, E-V-E-R-Y day I have at least one chocolate chip cookie. Close your mouth now, you’re going to catch flies.
The recipe I make now is what I consider by far the best recipe ever. I originally came across it on The Joy of Caking’s blog where she got the recipe from How Sweet It Is who got it from My Baking Addiction. WHEW! I changed the recipe too to meet my needs and our 7000' in altitude. I prefer a slightly salty cookie so I use salted butter rather than unsalted. I also do a mix of dark chocolate chips with semi-sweet.

Step 1 Ingredients

1 c cold cubed salted butter

1 c granulated sugar

1 c light brown sugar

2 medium eggs

1 tsp pure vanilla extract

2 3/4 c all purpose flour

1 tsp kosher salt

1 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp baking soda

1 c semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 c dark chocolate chips

'Bake Off'! Enough with the fire lets do a cookie challenge! (OK, I really love the idea of the fire thing- I just can't come up with anything :) )

Chocolate Chip Cookies. Can they ever not be great :)

Oh, they can! I'm experimenting with making a cookie that is gluten-free and the batch I made a few days ago were so hard you could have used them as a deadly projectile! :)
