Chocolate Chip Cookies



Our Big Ate requested for some sweets this weekend so we both searched some recipes over the net to try out. Since to this day I still am a struggling baker, I was actually nervous making the cookies, I mean this was a far cry from the basic cupcakes I'm doing and I could only think of the many different scenarios where it could go wrong. So apart from the recipe, I was armed with prayers as I make this, I don't want to disappoint the kids as they are so looking forward for their cookies for their afternoon snack. Oh, thank goodness it just went perfectly, I myself was impressed! Haha! I didn't really expect for it to turn out perfectly. Well, for the taste I was quite confident, I was more concerned if the cookies would form perfectly and if the texture would be right for the cookie, who wants to serve a cookie as soft as a cake right?
So again, let us give credit where credit is due, I would like to thank again Kusina ni Manang for the recipe. I am a fan of the site, where I also adapted my Cheese Cupcake recipe. Actually her recipe is for double chocolate chip cookies but then I only had one type of chocolate so this one would be a simple chocolate chip cookies recipe. I have also tweaked on some of the ingredients to suit what's available in my pantry. Like, for the light brown sugar, I only have dark brown so I substituted half of the amount of what the original recipe calls for with refined sugar to make it lighter. But still, it was so good! 40 cookies didn't even last the next day and everyone says if I can make them again this good, then maybe this could be turned into a business! Yes, that's how good it was! So don't just take my word for it, try it yourself and do let me know how it turned out. You can even send me pics and we can compare notes. What do you say?
Ingredients:
3 1/4 cup all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 cup refined sugar
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
3 small eggs
2/3 cup vegetable oil
2/3 cup unsalted butter

Method:
Preheat oven to 180degrees celcius.
Sift the flour into a mixing bowl and whisk in the baking soda and salt.
In another bowl, cream the butter, sugars and vanilla using an electric mixer on medium speed. Add the eggs one at a time, lowering the speed each time an egg is added. Slowly add in the oil. Mix until oil is completely blended with the creamed butter.
Slowly mix in the flour. Continue mixing on low speed until a smooth paste-like batter is formed. 



Stir in the chocolate chip cookies.




Scoop out about 1tbs. and line on a baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
Bake for about 15 minutes until set.
Take out from the oven and transfer on a wire rack to cool for 2-5 minutes. 
Serve with milk or any other favorite drink. Enjoy!


As a special treat to our Small Ate who had been a very dedicated helper, I have made a batch with sprinkles just for her! 


Mommy Tip: Once totally cooled, transfer to a cookie jar or any resealable container to prevent it from being too hard.
