This recipe is from my Aunty Shelly, and has proven to be the best and quickest chocolate chip cookie recipe I have found. (and I'm a cookie monster!) I always set the timer for 6 minutes so as not to overcook them. Usually 6 - 7 minutes is enough - this way they end up soft and chewy, not crunchy. I have also added 3/4 cup oatmeal, which adds a nice crunch and is very tasty as well! Ingredients:
1 cup butter (softened 2-3 min. at power level 2 in microwave) or 1 cup margarine (softened 2-3 min. at power level 2 in microwave) |
1 cup brown sugar |
1/2 cup white sugar |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
2 eggs |
2 cups flour |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 cup chocolate chips |
3/4 cup oatmeal (optional) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
2. Cream together butter/margarine and both sugars.
3. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. (If mixture is too sticky, add more flour to make into a roll-able consistency.).
4. Roll into slightly flattened balls and place onto an ugreased cookie sheet.
5. Bake 6-7 minutes.
6. Let cookies cool for several minutes before removing onto cookie rack.
