Chocolate Chip Cookies

(Soft Batch)

Soft batch Chocolate Chip cookies

 

2 3/4 Cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon baking powder

2 teaspoons cornstarch

1 teaspoon fine Sea salt

1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter (room temperature)

1/4 cup cream cheese (room temperature)

1 1/4 cups packed brown sugar

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla

2 large eggs (room temperature)

1 bag semi-sweet chocolate chips


Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, cornstarch and salt in a medium bowl.  Mix well.


In the bowl for an electric mixer, beat the butter, cream cheese, brown sugar, granulated sugar until light and creamy.  Add the vanilla and mix well.  Add eggs, one at a time, and continue mixing well.  Gradually add the flour mixture and mix well.  Stir in the chocolate chips.  Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least two hours (as long as three days).


Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Remove dough from refrigerator and allow to come to room temperature.  Place rounded spoonfuls onto cookie sheets lined with parchment paper. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes.  Allow to cool.  Eat warm and with milk..


**UPDATE** I got some mini peanut butter cups from the bulk bins at Sprouts and used those instead of chocolate chips - cookies are less sweet but just as awesome.


On some recipes, I will include some additional information to try and help you out (cutting the meat takes some time, use low-sodium or flavor-infused broth, etc.).  These are just suggestions, your experience in the kitchen should be your own - add some extra or different spice, use a different vegetable, just own it.

Why all the recipes?

I have enjoyed cooking ever since I can remember, and while in the past I tended to overseason and add extra ingredients to nearly everything, now I try and keep things simple.  Less is sometimes more... flavor. 


While some of these recipes take a little time and a little preparation, they don't take a lot of skill or experience to produce good food.  The most important thing about cooking is to not be afraid to try something new.  It's not difficult to make something that other people will enjoy.
