Easy Chocolate Chip Cookies
Print RecipeWho doesn’t like chocolate chip cookies during the holidays or just cuz they sound good all the time! Made by Kendra Ross
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter melted
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons hot water
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Gather your ingredients, making sure your butter is melted, and your eggs are at room temperature. (If you live at a high altitude melt the butter on your ground level, and leave at room temperature.)
- Preheat the oven to 350° degrees.
- Beat butter, white sugar, and brown sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth.
- Beat in eggs, one at a time, then add in the vanilla.
- Dissolve baking soda into hot water. Add to batter along with sea salt.
- Stir in flour, and chocolate chips.
- Use an ice cream scooper (this provides a good measurement) of dough 2 inches apart onto greased baking sheets.
- Bake in the preheated oven until edges are nicely browned, about 10 minutes. Or until it smells like the cookies are done.
- Cool on the baking sheets briefly before removing to a wire rack to cool completely. Or if you are feeling lazy just let them cook on the sheet.
- Store in an airtight container or serve immediately with some cool milk and enjoy!
Notes
- If you do and want tree nuts like walnuts added please do add them. It’s just for us my wife can’t have tree nuts she has a severe tree nut allergy.
- Make sure to use the creaming method or just melt the butter. This is a trick that helps make the cookies more hydrated, especially since we live in a high-altitude state.
The creaming method starts with beating the butter and sugar together until they’re lightened in color and fluffy.
