My Family’s Favourite Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

February 29, 2016 by fabfrugalmama

There’s nothing my family loves more than homemade chewy chocolate chip cookies, fresh out of the oven. I’ve been using the same recipe for years and if I ever try something new, they usually ask me to go back to the original.

It’s from a cookbook of family recipes my Mom gave me when I went away to university. (Fun fact: they are the same cookies my Mom made me as a kid!)  Despite my own additions to this cookbook over the years, you’ll still find only ONE chocolate chip cookie recipe in there, and for good reason – because (IMHO) it’s the best. 🙂 Enjoy!

Ingredients
  1. 3/4 cup butter
  2. 1 cup brown sugar
  3. 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  4. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  5. 2 eggs
  6. 2 cups all-purpose flour
  7. 1 teaspoon baking soda
  8. 1 teaspoon salt
  9. 2 cups chocolate chips
  10. 1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar and vanilla; then add eggs and beat well with an electric mixer.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt.
  3. Add the dry mixture to the creamed mixture, then stir in chocolate chips (and chopped nuts, if desired).
  4. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet(s).
  5. Bake at 350℉ / 175℃ for 8 minutes, or until edges of cookies are light brown.

Notes
  1. Cooking time noted is for a convection oven; conventional oven cooking time may vary slightly.
  2. Tip: For fresh cookies anytime, roll dough in waxed paper (in logs), then place in a tightly sealed plastic bag and freeze them. The next time you're ready for cookies, remove one log from the freezer, cut, and bake!
