My “Go-To” Chocolate Chip Cookies
So, here we are…8 weeks or so into this socially-distanced quarantine. My days have swung the pendulum from excessive productivity and positive to utterly lazy and grumpy – and every point in between. Lately, I feel like my family is gravitating toward needing comfort (specifically, comfort food). To that end, I made chocolate cookies. Is there anything more comforting that chocolate chip cookies straight from the oven?
Here’s a video of the cookie process:

And…the recipe:
3/4 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup dark brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 1/4 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup malt powder (optional)
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 package semi-sweet chocolate chip cookies
-oven to 350 degrees
-beat butter and sugars until creamy
-add eggs and vanilla; beat at medium for about 3 minutes until fluffy
-add flour, salt, baking soda, and malted milk powder; beat on low speed until just combined
-add chocolate chips; stir until just combined
– either scoop out into cookies and bake for 10-12 minutes OR spread about 1/2 of the dough into a cast iron skillet and bake for about 25 minutes (check often, the time will depend on the size of your skillet, etc)
These are my “go-to” cookies whenever we need a quick sweet or for taking to a friend or sending to a party or any of the this and sundry reasons cookies are needed. I hope that your family and friends enjoy this little taste of comfort.
With love, 6 feet away 😉
