What kind of cookies you ask? We tried a recipe for brown sugar chocolate chip cookies; which we promptly dubbed 'the tastiest cookie dough EVER'. And based on the fact we've made a lot of cookies in our kitchen, we felt qualified to make that distinction.
It's kind of crazy how the addition of dark brown sugar makes for a sweeter, flatter cookie: but it works. Plus, the addition of sea salt gives these cookies that addictive sweet/salty combination that we find SO addictive. COOKIES!!!
Give these bad boys a try. Maybe pay it forward and give a dozen to someone just because. Let's face it: the world could use a little more kindness.
Brown Sugar Chocolate Chip Cookies
Recipe courtesy of: http://jensfavoritecookies.com/2014/09/18/brown-sugar-chocolate-chip-cookies/
½ cup butter, softened
½ cup sugar
1 cup dark brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups flour
1 cup chocolate chips
Cream butter and sugars. Add eggs and vanilla and mix well.
Add salt and soda, and mix well. Add flour, and mix just until combined.
Fold in chocolate chips.
Scoop small balls of dough, place on baking sheet, and bake at 350F for 8-10 minutes. Please note: these cookies tend to spread out on the baking sheet; give them a good 3-4" to spread.
One tip: these cookies stuck something fierce to the cookie sheet. We learned our lesson after the first batch, and used a silicone baking mat for the next few batches. Parchment paper will work well if you don't have a baking mat. Otherwise you're going to end up with some ugly, wrinkled looking cookies... and a big mess to clean up. No one wants that. Give these a try, and enjoy them as much as we did.
Stay Cool,
