{mom's chocolate chip cookies} |
David's mom makes the BEST chocolate chip cookies! I thought I would try my hand. I knew I would inevitably come up short... and alas, I did. I was just missing some sort of magic. I mean, these taste good -- but they are just.. missing something! Wrong color, wrong consistency... but, nonetheless delicious!
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
*use a little less
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
*use instead 1 stick butter and 1 cup shortening
3/4 cup granulated suger
*use 1/2 cup instead
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
*use 1 full cup instead
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
*don't skimp! a little extra is best
2 large eggs
12 oz. pkg. of chocolate ships
PREHEAT oven to 375° F.
COMBINE flour, baking soda and salt in small bowl. Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract in large mixer bowl until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in morsels and nuts. Drop by rounded tablespoon onto ungreased baking sheets.
*be careful not to over stir
BAKE for 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.
*the key is to undercook these so they stay chewy. when you take cookies out of the oven slam the the try on the counter so that the dough falls.
I kept these pretty bite size and used mini chocolate chips. They aren't as super yummy as my mom-in-laws. But they are yum!
Y'all have any secrets to the perfect cookies?

Sorry no wiggles today. Things are a bit crazy around here this week (would love your prayers).
Holy moly, these look divine! Thanks for sharing the recipe and sometimes there is just something magical about the same thing when made by someone else...their personal touch, but I am sure they were still wonderful!
