New Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie

This is my new favorite chocolate chip cookie.


I found the recipe in the Mrs. Fields Cookie Book a few months ago.

I received the book about 15 years ago as a freebie from a book club I belonged to. Tell you the truth I think I only made one recipe from it in all the time I've had it. The book is full of all of these fancy pantsy cookie recipes and I don't make fancy pantsy cookies, I just eat them. I can't really tell you why this ccc is different than other chocolate chip cookie except it does seem to taste better than the mainstream ccc. It does have a longer baking time and at a lower temperature, and the ingredient make up is a little different than most ccc recipes. Anyway, I'm sharing the recipe ... try it you'll like it.






Blue-Ribbon Chocolate Chip Cookies
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 cup white sugar
1 cup salted butter, softened
2 large eggs
2tsp vanilla extract
2 cups chocolate chips (I prefer milk chocolate chips)

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
Combine flour, soda and salt. Mix together and set aside.
In another bowl or mixer blend together butter and sugars. Add eggs then vanilla and mix until light and fluffy(a touch of fancy pantsy).
Add flour mixture and chocolate chips , and blend at low speed until just mixed. Do not over mix. Bake for 22-24 minutes.
