CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE TEST

Cedar has been really interested in cooking & baking lately, specifically when we make cookies or pancakes, & every time we make cookies I google a cookie recipe. I don't have a "go-to" recipe for pretty much anything, google is my cooking best friend, I find recipes that I love & I save them & others I never, ever make again. Since he has been so into it though, I've decided to start testing/tasting/reviewing the different recipes we use for  cookies & letting you know how they go! Lately we have been making only chocolate chip cookies, but we're open to branch into different cookies :) First up is the chocolate chip cookie recipe on the back of the Tollhouse Chocolate Chip package.

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt (i like to use sea salt)

1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened

3/4 cup granulated sugar

3/4 cup packed brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 large eggs

2 cups nestle tollhouse chocolate chips

1// Preheat oven to 375 f.

2// Combine flour, baking soda, & salt - set aside. 

3// Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar & vanilla in a mixer until creamy. Add eggs one at a time. Once combined, add in flour mixture & chocolate chips & beat together. *TIP* grating the butter makes it soften & easier to beat in if you don't have time or forget (like me, every time) to soften butter beforehand!

4// bake 9-11 minutes or until golden brown. 

These cookies were so easy to make & Cedar loved being apart of the action, however they weren't my favorite. Maybe it's just me, but every time I make the Tollhouse chocolate chip cookies they come out totally flat & it always disappoints me! The cookie dough was totally delicious & lets be honest, that's 1/2 the reason I make cookies, haha, but the baked cookies just aren't a favorite of mine. What do you think? What are your favorite cookies to make? I would love to try some new recipes!
