Baking Monday: Chocolate Chip Cookies!

Hey hey everyone! Graciepopstar91 here! Today, I will be telling you how to make chocolate chip cookies! I always make these for a Bible study Me, and my parents go to! Their always a big hit! Heres how you make them.

3/4 Cup sugar

3/4 Cup packed brown sugar

1 Cup (two sticks) butter softened*

1 Teaspoon vanilla extract

1 Large egg

2 1/4 Cup AP (All-Purpose) flour 

1 Teaspoon baking soda

1/2 Teaspoon salt

Half of a bag of chocolate chips (or just eyeball it to your liking...) 

Preheat oven to 375 fahrenheit.

In a large bowl or KitchenAid stand mixer, mix together your sugars, butter, vanilla extract, and egg on medium low speed.

*Helpful Tip: Soften your butter in the microwave for 10-15 seconds. After, "smush" your butter with your fingers to soften it more, and to see if it needs more time in the microwave. 

Add to your wet ingredients (your sugars, butter, vanilla, egg mixture), your flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix together on medium low speed. The dough may seem a bit crumbly, but if you mix it long enough it will mix together into a ball. Im not sure if this tip would work with a handheld mixer. It might though? 

Put parchment onto 2 large cookie sheets. With a cookie scoop, fill it up with dough and then roll the ball in your hands and put it on the cookie sheet. Bake for 7-10 minutes. Let cool for about 10 minutes, then serve. Enjoy!

A lot of times, people wonder how I make these cookies so good, and really, I've been wondering myself! But I think the secret is.... Precise measurement! With baking you have to be very precise so it will turn out good! 

I hope you enjoyed this weeks recipe! Stay tuned tomorrow for CoolCat's savory recipe!

Heres todays Bible verse!

Proverbs 4:7 

Getting wisdom is the wisest thing you can do! And whatever else you do, develop good judgment.

Remember, God made YOU!

Keep calm and bake on!
