Chocolate Chip Cookies

Two things that went well about these cookies were that they stayed the perfect shape that we wanted, and the perfect texture. They also had a lot of flavor along with some tasty chocolate chips.

One thing that I would do differently next time is add more chocolate chips. Other then that I would say everything went well.

Recipe

¾ cup granulated sugar

¾ cup packed brown sugar

1 cup butter, chilled and cut up

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 ¼ cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 12 ounce package semisweet chocolate pieces (2 cups)

1/3 cup chocolate chips

 Directions

Place a steel blade in the work bowl of a food processor. Add the nuts. Chop coarsely with several on-off turns; remove the chopped nuts and set aside.

 adding sugar, egg to nut mixture

BHG / Ana Cadena

Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, butter, eggs, and vanilla to work bowl. Process the mixture until creamy.

 Test Kitchen Tip: Creaming the butter and sugar together traps tiny air bubbles, helping to leaven the cookies. Process the butter and sugar together until the mixture is light in color and resembles whipped butter.

 add flour and baking soda to food processor

BHG / Ana Cadena

Add the flour and baking soda; process just until mixed in.

Drop the dough by rounded teaspoons 2 inches apart onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake in a 375-degree F oven for 8 to 10 minutes.

 Test Kitchen Tip: Chocolate chip cookies are done when they have a firm golden edge or bottom and appear slightly set on top. If the edges become dark brown, they are overbaked. If edges aren't golden and tops are soft and shiny, bake a little longer.

Cool on the cookie sheet 1 minute. Transfer the cookies to wire racks; cool completely. Makes 48 chocolate chip cookies.

 Test Kitchen Tip: To store the homemade chocolate chip cookies, place the completely cooled cookies in a tightly covered container for up to 3 days at room temperature. To freeze chocolate chip cookies, layer them between waxed paper.

I couldn't find the exact picture that we used but the one we did use had the exact amount of cookies we used along with the glass of milk with it.
