Gooiest Chocolate Chip Cookies

Tuesday, August 28, 2012

These cookies may not be the prettiest things on the planet, or the best looking cookies you ever saw, but let me tell you something. These cookies are the gooiest, chewiest, most deliciously delicious chocolate chip cookies you will ever eat.

Period.


We're talking melt in your mouth, fall apart in your hand, chocolate all over your face kind of delicious, and isn't that what everyone looks for in a cookie?
  

My friend Ben asked me if I would help him bake cookies to take to the barn. Ben lives right down the street from us and we've been friends since birth, so I said sure and told him to come on over.


When he told me he wanted to make chocolate chip cookies I knew the exact recipe I wanted to use because a couple weeks ago I had been on pinterest and saw this recipe. And I knew then and there that these were the cookies. These were the cookies I had been searching for (is this dramatic enough yet?).


So we made them. And then we ate them. They tasted like a little bit of heaven in every bite.


Needless to say I think they were the best cookies I have made to date. So if you ever need to make chocolate chip cookies for a bake sale, or a party, or because you are just craving some cookies, make these. You will not regret it.


 Recipe adapted from I Am Baker (hers look better than mine but she's been doing this for much longer!)

Ingredients:

2 cups minus 2 tablespoons (8 1/2 ounces) cake flour
1 2/3 cups (8 1/2 ounces) bread flour
*I only used all purpose flour for my recipe.
1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
2 1/2 sticks (1 1/4 cups) unsalted butter
1 1/4 cups (10 ounces) light brown sugar
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons (8 ounces) granulated
sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/4 pounds chocolate chips


Sift flours, baking soda, baking powder and salt
into a bowl and set aside.
Using a mixer with a paddle attachment, cream
butter and sugars until light and fluffy – about 5 minutes. Add eggs. Stir in vanilla. Reduce to low speed and add dry ingredients slowly, mixing until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350.
Drop spoonfuls of dough onto baking sheet.
Bake for 10-12 minutes.
