This recipe is 100% from my sister-in-law Megan. She is the Queen of chocolate chip cookies and she came to visit a couple of weeks ago and showed me the secrets to cookie baking - for which I am eternally grateful! Her recipe is easy to remember. So just in case you're at the store and you suddenly think "oh, chocolate chip cookies!" you will know exactly what you need. The recipe pattern goes like this:
sugar, sugar
fat, fat
egg, egg
vanilla
baking soda
salt
flour
chocolate
Let me explain:
sugar, sugar
fat, fat
egg, egg
vanilla
baking soda
salt
flour
chocolate
Let me explain:
ingredients
1 cup each brown sugar and white granulated sugar
1/2 cup each canola oil and cold butter, cut into small pieces
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon each baking soda and salt
3-3 1/2 cups flour
3/4 of a bag semi-sweet chocolate chips
directions
Mix together sugars, fats, eggs and vanilla working in the butter with a pastry cutter. It will be chunky and that's ok because next you will add the baking soda, salt, and 3 cups flour*. Completely work in the butter using a wooden spoon. Stir in the chocolate chips. Roll cookies into 1" balls and cook for 10 minutes in a preheated 350 degree oven. When you take the cookies out bang them on the counter (this keeps them chewy and delicious). Then use a spatula to move them to a cooling rack. Then try not to eat the lot of them because you know if you do you have some explaining to do to your trainer...
*You may need to add up to 1/2 cup more flower depending on where you live and what the weather is like outside, and the temperature inside your house. I'm not sure how to tell you how you should gauge that but I know that I use 3 1/2 cups flower out here in AZ and it works like a charm. Enjoy!
p.s. Will post pictures when I remember to take them instead of eating the cookies first!
