best chocolate chip cookies.

are you searching for the best chocolate chip cookie recipe? one that is soft, perfectly sweet and has the right amount of chocolate chips? well i have found it! i first found the delicious recipe on pinterest and it instantly had me intrigued. i absolutely love baking, especially on chilly days, and yesterday was perfect for baking.

ingredients:

2 1/4 cups of flour

1 tsp. of baking soda

1 1/2 tsp. of cornstarch

1/2 tsp. of salt

3/4 cups of butter, melted

3/4 cups of brown sugar

1/2 of white sugar

1 large egg & 1 egg yolk

2 tsp. of vanilla

1 cup of chocolate chips [i usually just add as much as i want, or that looks good] *i recommend using Guittard milk chocolate chips, because they are bigger and quite delicious.

method:

+ mix together flour, cornstarch, baking soda and salt in a large mixing bowl, then set it aside.

+ in a medium sized bowl, mix the melted butter, brown sugar and white sugar until there are no lumps. then mix in the egg & the egg yolk, and finally mix in the vanilla.

+ pour all of the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix together with a spoon or spatula. the dough should be very soft and thick.

+ mix or fold in the chocolate chips. [they might not stick well because of the melted butter]

+ next, cover the cookie dough and chill it in the fridge for 2 hours. [i put it in the freezer for an hour and they turned out just fine. i was impatient to try the cookies] but make sure you chill them. 

+ after you finish chilling the dough, preheat the oven to 325 degrees

+ prepare cookie sheets by covering them with parchment paper, or spraying them with pam

+ roll the cookie dough into balls and place them into rows onto the pan. make the balls as small or big as you want, then bake for 11-12 minutes

+ [i cooked them for 9 minutes, opened the oven and turned the pan, then cooked them for 2 more minutes.]

+ the cookies will look a little undercooked when you take them out, but they will continue to cook while they cool.

+ finally your cookies are ready to eat after they cool for a minute or two!

*a secret to these chocolate chip cookies is after you roll them into balls and place them on the pan is place an extra chocolate chip or two on top of the balls of dough. it will give them the perfect chocolate chip look.
