World Famous Chocolate Chip Cookies (Abby)

 

Hahaha, no, I don't call them that... my dad does.  But, they are SUPER easy (I'm not just saying that) and pretty good, if I do say so myself. (; (Btw, I believe this recipe came off of a Sam's Club chocolate chip bag.) I have made this recipe sooo many times that I never get out the written recipe because I've memorized it! Lol. Let's get to it!

First you'll need:

2 1/4 cups of flour

1 tsp. salt

1 tsp. baking soda

Mix it all together in a separate bowl and set aside.

This is the auto-mixer I'm using. You can use a hand mixer if you want. I've used both, but this one is obviously easier. (; It's a 'Bosch.' I'm not sure where we got it, but it's a really good one. (:

Here are the attachments I'm using. I don't think this really matters, but I thought I would mention in case it does or you just wanna know.

 

In the mixer, mix:

3/4 cup granulated sugar

3/4 cup brown sugar

2 sticks of butter (1 cup)

1 tsp vanilla

Then add 2 eggs and mix!

Next mix in the dry ingredients you mixed earlier. I like to put in about half of the flour mixture, mix it in, and then add the other half. The recipe doesn't say this, but I do because I feel like it mixes up a bit better.

 

.Next add in the chocolate chips! I add about 1 1/2 to 2 cups. You can add in nuts now if you want to. I don't, but if you like yours with nuts you can. :D

 

 YUM-O. Hehe, I think I say this with about every recipe I've posted... *rolls eyes*

I use a cookie dough scoop (yes, I make so many cookies that I actually have a cookie scoop... kinda like an ice cream scoop.... but for cookie dough). My scoop is about 1 inch, I believe, so you can just use like your regular spoon and make them round if you don't have a cookie dough scoop.

I put them about two inches apart, or 12 cookies on a regular sized cookie sheet.

Bake for 10-12 minutes (watch them, because sometimes it takes less and sometimes more depending on the oven) in a 375 degree oven.

I have doubled, and even tripled, this recipe and it comes out the same. (: When I make just one recipe, it makes aprox. 34 cookies, or around there. When I triple it it makes about 120 cookies. Once I did this, and I cooked them all at one time (when I make this much I usually just cook a few batches and then put the rest in the fridge for another time) I was in the kitchen for HOURS and I finally came out with about 120 cookies! lol! 

Btw, I don't recommend cooking 2 cookie sheets at a time. I put one in at a time, not both in at the same time. I don't think they would cook very evenly if you put them both in there at once.

 ... I saw that...

 

Here's the recipe (:
