Chocolate Chip Cookies
Best chocolate chip cookies with crunchy edges and chewy middles.
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter softened to room temperature
- ½ cup margarine softened to room temperature
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 2 tsp hot water
- 1 tsp soda
- 3 cups plus 2 Tbsp flour
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp baking powder
- 2 cups chocolate chips I use half milk/half semi-sweet
- 1 cup chopped pecans or other nuts optional but yummy
Instructions
- Cream butter and sugars in a large mixing bowl. Beat in eggs and vanilla.
- Dissolve soda in hot water and add to the creamed mixture.
- Stir in dry ingredients, chips, and nuts.
- Drop by tablespoonfuls onto silpat lined or lightly greased cookie sheets.
- Bake at 350° for 8-10 minutes. Let cool for 1-2 minutes on pan before removing to cooling racks.
Notes
I think that half butter/half margarine makes the best cookie, but you can feel free to use all of either one.
