Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chocolate Chip Cookies has to be one of those ultimate “mommy” type recipes everyone should have in their arsenal. The making of chocolate chip cookies is really a complete experience that you should enjoy. What I mean by complete experience is that each step in the process has it’s own joys. Having the kids help you (or hinder you but in a good way) with making the cookies, that delicious aroma of the cookies baking, then taking them out of the oven and eating one before they cool, the warm gooey goodness just making you feel all warm inside.
So, don’t look at this as a chore, look at this as an experience of culinary cookie making wonder. Here’s one of my Chocolate Chip cookie recipes. Enjoy!
Ingredients
2 1/2 (1 ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate
1/2 cup butter
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups white sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2/3 cup sour cream
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). In the microwave or over a double boiler, melt unsweetened chocolate and butter together, stirring occasionally until smooth. Sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt; set aside. In a medium bowl, beat sugar, eggs, and vanilla until light. Mix in the chocolate mixture until well blended. Stir in the sifted ingredients alternately with sour cream, then mix in chocolate chips. Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
