Choclate Chip Cookies

If you're like me, then chocolate chip cookies have a pretty short life expectancy in your household. This is my favourite recipe for thin gooey cookies, just the way my family likes 'em!


Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup pure chocolate chips
  • 1 cup butterskotch chips (This makes them very sweet. You can use less if you choose!)


    1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 C). Line a bakingsheet with parchment paper and grease with butter. Put the cookie sheet in the oven as it heats (this will make the cookies melt faster and makes them thinner).
    2. Cream the butter, brown sugar and white sugar together until all are combined and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well each time. Stir in the vanilla.
    3. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt in a seperate bowl. Slowly and gradually add into dough mixture while beating on a low setting.
    4. Combine the chocolate chips and butterskotch chips in a bowl (you can use the same one from the flour mixture) and stir to ensure even distribution. Gradually add to dough, stiring well with each addition (if the mixture is too dry by this point, you can add in a bit more vanilla).
    5. Take the cookie sheet out of the oven (careful, it will be hot!). Using a spoon, drop scoops of dough (about the size of a ping pong ball) onto the cookie sheet. Give eacho one generous space as they will expand rather quickly.
    6. Bake for 7-10 minutes. I usually take mine out at the 8 min mark. They're very gooey in the center and will be very very soft! Make sure to let cookies cool completely before removing them. They will turn to mush if you try!
    I hope you enjoy this recipie as much as I do :)
