Delicious Chocolate Chip Cookies! –A Recipe
I’ve been on a search for some “new-to-me” favorite recipes. I think this one has made it onto our family’s list.
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ teaspoons instant coffee powder
- 1 ¾ cups flour
- 8 ounces semisweet chocolate chips or chocolate chunks
Instructions
- Cream the butter with the sugars until fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and the vanilla extract.
- Combine the dry ingredients and beat into the butter mixture. Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Drop by large spoonfuls onto a greased cookie sheet.
- Bake at 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes, or 10-12 minutes for a crisper cookie.
A couple of extra tips – Add pecans for an EXTRA delicious cookie (my favorite!) And, we really like to freeze these cookies so we can eat them as we want them. If you’d like to gift them or have cookies in no time, simply use the recipe above but put your cookies on a cookie sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil and into the freezer until they are hard (so they won’t stick together later). Then, put them in a FREEZER ziploc bag and store in the freezer! When you’re ready to eat them, just put them in the oven at 375 degrees for about 13 minutes or a little more (if they’re coming straight from the freezer). YUMMY!
Welcome back!
