But I thought of something fun to do while I baked - I would document them and upload a picture-recipe on here, just for fun :) I am also learning/testing out my Nikon camera, so this was a perfect opportunity!
So here goes my cookie recipe (which I got off of www.allrecipes.com)
You will need:
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
3/4 unsalted butter, room temperature
1 egg
1 egg yolk
1/2 tsp baking powder/soda
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1 egg yolk
1/2 tsp baking powder/soda
1 tbsp vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Optional: Wax paper/parchment paper
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Mix the butter, white sugar and brown sugar together, until creamy. If you have a mixer, mix it for about 10 minutes or so.
*Note - DO NOT melt the butter. Better results when it's at room temperature/soft
Next, separate the egg yolk from one egg and add it into the mixture. Add the other egg in as well (not separated) and beat it
Dissovle baking powder/soda in a little bit of hot water. Add it to the mix.
Also, add in the vanilla extract.
Then, add the flour, one cup at a time.
If you do both, your kitchen will look like you had a flour fight with yourself.
Finally, fold in the chocolate chips. Add as much or as little as you'd like.
It's all up to your preference.
Then, either grease and flour your cookie trays or put wax paper on it to prevent the cookies from sticking. (I used wax paper)
Either use your clean hands, a scoop or just a spoon to make balls. Make them as big or as small (not too small of course) as you'd like. You could also make a giant one, just saying :)
15-20 minutes later, your cookies are all ready to be devoured!
*CAUTION: Cookies may be hot!
I hope the cookies turn out as great as they did for me! Remember, have fun making them!
"May our hearts be full like our drinks tonight
May we sing and dance 'til we lose our minds
We are only young if we seize the night
Tonight we own the night"
