Homemade Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

A homemade chocolate chip cookie recipe seems to be a dime a dozen now-a-days.

So how do you tell delicious, from a dud?

First, look for classic ingredients. Anything that uses ingredients that are untraditional can sometimes taste a little “unique”… but not is a good way. Just keep it simple.

Also look for a homemade chocolate chip cookie recipe thats got lots of chocolate chips. Usually if its got less that one 12 ounce package… its not worth trying.

Seems simple, doesnt it? Cocolate chip cookies should be loaded with chocolate chips. Again, just keep it classic.

Yeild: 60 cookies

Ingredients:

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup shortening
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla (I prefer to use the double strength)
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 12 ounce (2 cups) package semisweet chocolate chips

Directions:

1) Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Prepare a large ungreased baking sheet and set aside.

2) In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and shortening with an electric mixer on medium speed for up to 45 seconds. Add the sugars, and the baking soda. Beat until thoroughly combined. Beat in the eggs, one by one, and then the vanilla.

3) Blend in the flour slowly until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips. Scoop with a cookie scoop, or by rounded tablespoon dollops onto the cookie sheet. Bake the cookies for 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Let the cookies cool on a wire rack for 5-10 minutes.

Enjoy!

Two ways to alter this homemade chocolate chip cookie recipe is to add 1 cups of walnuts, pecans, or hazelnuts to the mix when you fold in the chocolate chips. You could also, instead of the normal sized cookies, make them jumbo sized! You can easily do this by scooping the batter into cup sized dollops on the large cookie sheet. Put these chocolate giants in the oven at 375 degrees for 11-13 minutes. It makes about 20 cookies.
