Chocolate Chip Cookies


This is my favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe. You can add anything you want to it, I've done Reese's Peanut Butter chips and chocolate chips, white chocolate and milk chocolate chips, coconut and chocolate chunks. Try anything you want! The cookies turn out even better if you refrigerate the dough so it's firm and cold. That way the cookies turn out crispy on the edges and soft and chewy in the middle.

Chocolate Chip Cookies

1 1/2 c. butter, softened
1 1/4 c. brown sugar
1 1/4 c. white sugar
2 eggs
1 Tbs. vanilla
3 3/4 c. flour
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 pkg chocolate chips, or anything else you want to put in!
1/3 c. finely chopped walnuts

Heat oven to 350. Beat butter until smooth. Add sugars and beat for 3 minutes until light in color. Add eggs and vanilla, beat until combined. Add flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir until dough forms. Add in chocolate chips and walnuts, stir until well incorporated. You can now bake for 10-13 minutes, or you can put the dough in the refrigerator overnight and bake the next day. Makes about 4 dozen cookies.

I MUST TRY THIS!!!
I love chocolate chip cookies.. and the thought of reeses peanut butter chips inside is just well.. heavenly.
I was wondering though.. I have a friend who bakes her cookies at 325 degrees for 3-4 minutes longer in the oven just so that they come out softer (which I love) But i se you mentioned that if you refrigerate the though, you achieve this same affect. What are your thoughts queen of cookies? :)

Hhhmmm, I've never tried that, and it does sound easier than refrigerating the dough, so I'll try it and let you know if I get the same results.
