Chocolate Chip Cookies

Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (Redmonds Real Salt)
  • 2 Sticks room temperature butter
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon of my vanilla
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup Ghirardelli semi sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup walnut pieces (optional)

Instructions

  • In your kitchen aid mixer, mix butter and sugar together then add eggs and vanilla and mix until incorporated.

  • In a separate bowl, add flour, baking soda, salt, chocolate chips, and walnuts. Mix with a whisk or spoon.

  • Add Dry ingredients to stand mixer slowly or put it all in and use the kitchen aid guard so flour doesn’t fly everywhere.

  • Mix just until incorporated. I use a small scooper to put on baking sheet but you could use a teaspoon (Kris recommends a tablespoon)

  • Bake at *375 for 9-11 minutes or until slightly browned. Remove from baking sheet and place directly onto counter top to cool.

Additional Notes

  • Shari uses her homemade vanilla and good quality chocolate chips. She also uses good quality salt and unbleached organic flour.
  • Don’t over bake them, and quickly put them onto the counter to cool.
  • Keep them in an airtight container when fully cooled.
