Soft Baked Chocolate Chip Cookies

So, basically chocolate chip cookies are delicious. I think that's really all the explanation I need. You should make chocolate chip cookies. End of story. But I will go on... I think chocolate chip cookies are especially delicious when they are fresh out of the oven because they are warm and soft! This recipe for chocolate chip cookies is great because the cookies don't get hard the day after baking them. They stay soft for several days and after popping them in the microwave for a few seconds they taste like they are fresh out of the oven!

To make about 3 dozen cookies you will need:

• 3/4 cup BUTTER, unsalted
• 3/4 cup BROWN SUGAR, lightly packed
• 1/2 cup SUGAR
• 1 large EGG & 1 large EGG YOLK
• 2 tsp VANILLA
• 2 & 1/4 cup FLOUR
• 1 tsp BAKING SODA
• 1 & 1/2 tsp CORNSTARCH
• 1/2 tsp SALT
• 1 & 1/2 cup CHOCOLATE CHIPS

Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F. Then cream together the butter, brown sugar, and sugar until the mixture is fluffy and light. 

Next, mix in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla. Once that has been combined, add the flour, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt.

Lastly, mix in the chocolate chips!

Form balls of dough about the size of a walnut and space them about 2 inches apart on a cookie sheet. Try to not eat all of the dough first ;)

Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until they are slightly brown around the edges and golden brown on top!

Since my husband and I don't need to eat 3 dozen cookies at once and I like cookies fresh out of the oven, I only bake up a few cookie at a time and wrap the rest of the dough in cling wrap which I store in the fridge. This also allows me to eat some of the dough when I make the next batch... ;)

Yummm... cookies... :)
