Easy Chocolate Chip Cookie
Toll house Chocolate Chip was the only thing that sounded good to me when I had COVID.
Servings 5 Dozen Cookies
Cost $0.10 per Cookie or $5.00 per batch
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup 2 sticks butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped nuts Optional
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F. Grab a small bowl and toss your flour, baking soda, and salt together, then set it aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat your margarine, white sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract together until the mixture is nice, creamy, and fully combined.
- Add your eggs one at a time, giving it a good mix after each one. Gradually stir in your flour blend, then fold in your chocolate chips. If you have chopped nuts on hand, throw them in now; if not, they are completely optional!
- Drop the dough by rounded tablespoons onto ungreased baking sheets. No need to space them perfectly, just leave a little room for them to naturally spread out as they bake.
- Bake for 9 to 11 minutes until they turn a beautiful, comforting golden brown. If you are baking multiple sheets at once, switch your baking racks halfway through so they all cook evenly.
- Let the cookies cool right on the baking sheets for 2 minutes to firm up slightly before transferring them over to a wire rack to cool completely. This single staple batch stretches to make a generous 5 dozen cookies.
