let's be honest, we all know our sister kate
has the perfect chocolate chip cookie mastered.
but no matter what i do, i can't replicate her formula!
the other day, i ordered a cookie from a bakery with a dear friend of mine.
i mentioned to her, "i'm a cookie snob", and
this particular cookie, after a couple bites, hadn't really passed my test.
it was dry and crumbly, but oh well.
the other day, she sent me a recipe of her version of the perfect chocolate chip cookie!
well......
being sunday, the day of exhaustion+baking+splurging+hanging in the kitchen,
we made cookies.
these were yumm-o, and my friend swears by the combo
of baking powder AND baking soda.
light and soft and chewy.
i'm totally embarassed how many i ate. blegh.
thank heavens for neighbors, cookie-lovin' boys and a cookie-monster husband,
cuz' now the batch is gone.
so give these babies a whirl!
oh, and i'd love to try any other chocolate chip cookie recipes out there!
laura's perfect chocolate chip cookies
2 sticks of butter (1 cup)
3/4 cup white sugar
1 1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla
2 eggs, slightly beaten
3 cups flour
3/4 teaspoons baking soda
3/4 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
3 cups chocolate chips (i used guittard milk chocolate...my favorite!)
in a mixer, cream the butter. add the vanilla, sugar and slightly beaten eggs. mix in the dry ingredients. stir in the chocolate chips. drop on a greased cookie sheet. bake at 350 degrees for 11-13 minutes.
so glad you posted a choc cookie recipe! those look div-ine. i can't wait to try, especially cause blake is cookie monster too. aren't we all though?
ReplyDeletemmm, and yes, you have to do guittard chocolate to get full effect!

I am a cookie snob, and a dessert snob in general.
