My mom makes AMAZING chocolate-chip cookies! Back in college she’d send me big batches of chocolate-chip cookies and my dorm-mates would actually cheer. {I would share them of course!} Hmmm, thinking about it now, maybe I should thank Mom for helping me make friends! 
This year, Mom gave me her recipe and I tried my hand at making a batch … they didn’t turn out quite as well as hers, but still pretty darn delicious. Crispy, buttery edges; gooey chocolatey middles. It’s hard to go wrong with a chocolate-chip cookie!
mom’s classic chocolate-chip cookies
- 2 and 1/4 cups flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1 package semi-sweet chocolate chips
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Cream butter through sugar.
3. Add eggs and vanilla and beat well.
4. Sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
5. A little at a time, add flour mixture to wet ingredients, stirring well to combine thoroughly.
6. Add chocolate chips and cinnamon, if desired.
7. Scoop by tablespoons onto a baking sheet.
8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until cookies are golden-brown and firm to the touch.
9. Allow to cool for 5 minutes, then remove from baking sheet.
I like these cookies best when they’re still warm — and of course with a big tall glass of milk!
Hope you are enjoying these last couple days before Christmas!
