I know when it comes to chocolate chip cookie recipes so many exist, but this recipe here, is by far the best one I have tried. My friend Shenel, who bakes all. the. time. told me about this recipe. I thought "yeah, whatever" and then ... I tried it. These were the cookies I served at my wedding instead of cake. I'm pretty sure the secret lies in the amount of brown sugar.
Ingredients
- 3 1/2 c. flour
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 c. butter (softened)
- 2 c. brown sugar
- 6 T. sugar
- 2 eggs
- 4 tsp. vanilla (if you can get Mexican vanilla the taste will go to the next level!)
- 12 oz. chocolate chips
- In a large bowl mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together.
- In a separate large bowl blend the butter and sugars until smooth and creamy. Once they are creamy add in the eggs and vanilla. Blend until smooth.
- Slowly mix in the dry ingredients with the sugar mixture until blended.
- Stir in the chocolate chips (a little more than 12 oz. is never a bad thing...)
- For each cookie, spoon up approximately 2-3 T. Of the batter
- Bake at 300 degrees F for approximately 13 minutes. If you like them soft and gooey, 13 minutes is good. If you like them crunchy, 15-18 minutes is good.
I hope you enjoy them as much as I do! If you make them I'd love to hear how they turned out.
This is my favorite chocolate chip recipe:

It leaves them poofy instead of letting them get flat. They are so wonderful! I made 3 dozen for group once and all of them got eaten easily! haha. Brown sugar is definitely a plus. People like their chubby cookies (as ryan calls them). ;)
