Centsable Recipes: Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

I had to share this new chocolate chip cookie recipe I came across this year, it is certainly a new favorite of mine. I love chewy chocolate chip cookies, not the crunchy ones. So, if you are a crunchy chocolate chip cookie lover this may not be for you ;).

I discovered this recipe on Land O' Lakes website. They are actually called 'Chewy Jumbo Chocolate Chip Cookies' on their site, but I did not want to make jumbo cookies, just regular size ones, and this recipe is completely adaptable either way.

INGREDIENTS
 4 ¼ cps - All-Purpose Flour*

1tsp - Baking Powder

1tsp - Baking Soda

1 tsp – Salt

1 ½ cps – Butter, softened

1 ¼ cps – Sugar

1 ¼ cps – Firmly Pressed Brown Sugar

2 – Eggs

1 Tbls – Vanilla

1 pckg (12 ounces) – Chocolate Chunks or Chocolate Chips

*Tip: It is important to measure flour properly when cookie baking. Stir flour in the bag or canister with a large spoon to lighten it. Lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup and level with a spatula or knife. Be careful not to tap or shake the measuring cup when measuring. It is not necessary to sift the flour in baking unless the recipe specifically states to do so.

DIRECTIONS

1. Heat oven to 375 degrees

2. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, & salt in medium bowl – set aside

3. Combine butter, sugar, & brown sugar in large mixing bowl. Beat on medium speed, scraping often, until creamy.

4. Add eggs and vanilla to butter mixture, continue beating & scraping sides, until well mixed.

5. Reduce speed to low – beat while gradually adding flour mixture, until well mixed

6. Stir in chocolate chips with a wooden spoon

7. Drop rounded Tablespoon size balls on an ungreased baking sheet 2 inches apart

8. Bake for 10 mins, or until light golden brown (DO NOT OVER BAKE!)

Should yield approx. 4 dozen cookies.
