Recipe # 1 ~ Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies

    Well today I am going to start on going through bon appetit Desserts! The first recipe is a classic chocolate chip cookie recipe. A very easy and normal one, but thats okay. I am still very excited to make all these different kinds of recipes that I have never made before :)
This is probably my favourite chocolate chip cookie recipe, It is really good and I think that you will enjoy it as much as I have!


Makes about 2 dozen.

The recipe for the cookies is:

2 1/2 c. all purpose flour
1 t. baking soda
1 t. salt
1 c. butter, room temperature
1 c. golden brown sugar (packed)
3/4 c. sugar
2 large eggs
2 t. vanilla extract
2 c. semisweet or bittersweet chocolate chips
1 c. pecans, toasted and chopped 


Butter 2 large baking sheets or spray with non-stick cooking spray. Whisk flour, baking soda, and salt in medium bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat butter in large bowl until smooth. Add both sugars, beat to blend. Add eggs and vanilla; beat to blend. Add flour mixture and beat at low speed just to blend. Stir in chocolate and nuts, if using. Cover and chill dough for at least 2 hours.

Preheat oven to 375* F. Drop dough by 2 level Tablespoonfuls unto prepared sheets, mounding one on top of the other, spacing 2 inches apart. Bake until edges are browned and tops are golden brown, 11-12 minutes. Transfer cookies to racks to cool completely. Repeat with remaining dough.

These cookies can be made one day ahead and kept in the fridge, then bake the next day :)

enjoy!
