Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies
W's been bugging me to buy him a big pack of Chips Ahoy each time we go to the grocery.
I could have easily gave in, except that M would give me a look - "stick to your list and the budget."
And so I told W that instead of me buying him branded chocolate chip cookies, I'll just make him some.
He loved the idea and everyday since then, he'd eagerly remind me to make him some during the weekend.

Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients:
1/2cup granulated white sugar
1cup packed brown sugar
1cup softened butter or margarine
2pcs eggs
2tsp vanilla extract
1/2tsp baking soda
1tsp salt
2 1/2cups all-purpose flour
2cups chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate morsels)
How I did it:
I pre-heated the oven to 350degF.
In a bowl, I combined the flour and baking soda.
Using a stand mixer, I mixed the butter with both white and brown sugars until light and fluffy.
I added the salt, vanilla and eggs and continued mixing at low until well-combined.
I stirred in the chocolate chips, careful not to crush them.
Using an ice cream scooper (or spoon), I dropped balls of dough about 2inches apart on baking sheets lined with "cook and bake paper" (or parchment paper).
I baked the dough for about 10minutes until golden brown on the outside but soft inside.
Let the dough cool for 1minute on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack.
Cool the cookies completely before keeping on airtight containers or serving.

I ran out of chocolate chips - but next time I make some, I'd make sure I'd put in not just 2cups...but more! =)
W proudly gave away some of the cookies I baked to his cousins. =)
Happy weekend!
