We are lucky i got a picture they were going fast! |
When my son first woke up this morning he asked, “It looks
like rain does that mean you are going to bake cookies?” Living in Southern
California it doesn’t often look like rain, so when it does, we bake. Today I
am making my chocolate chip cookies. I wrote out the recipe in the order I
throw the ingredients together in the mixer. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and
let’s get going!
Ingredients:
· 2 sticks of butter
· ¾ cup sugar
o
Turn the mixer on low to start creaming the
butter and sugar. Once it looks well incorporated, keep adding the rest of the
ingredients.
· ¾ cup packed brown sugar
· 1 tsp vanilla extract (life is too short to use
imitation – get the real stuff)
· 2 eggs
· 1 tsp baking soda
· 1 tsp salt
· 2 Tbls ground flaxseed (this gives the cookies a
nice nutty taste)
· 2 1/3 cups white whole wheat flour
o
Add the flour slowly so it doesn’t go all over
the kitchen, think half a cup at a time
· 12 oz of semi -
sweet
chocolate chips
I use a small ice cream scoop with a spring release, it
holds about a tablespoon of cookie dough. Scoop them onto an ungreased cookies
sheet and pop them into the oven. Sorry there are not more pictures but I had 4 kids helping me. Bake for about 10 minutes or until they look
like you want to eat them. Enjoy!
