Chocolate Chip Cookies

Best made during dead RRR week

Ingredients

Wet

• 1 cup = 2 sticks of butter
• 2 eggs
• 2 tsp vanilla
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 0.5 cup sugar

Dry

• 2.5 cups of flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp baking soda

Chocolate Chips

• Chocolate chips, semi-sweet or dark (<80%)

Instructions

1. Start browning your butter. Heat butter in a pan (not non-stick) on low/medium-low heat, stirring from the bottom occasionally until light brown. Pour into another container immediately; it will continue to brown as it cools. Feel free to start on the other steps in the meantime.
2. Measure and sift together dry ingredients.
3. If you have chocolate chips, reform them into a bar by melting in microwave or over steam then pouring into a rectangular pan. Let cool.
4. When the butter cools to a warm temperature (i.e. does not burn), cream with sugars. Add eggs and vanilla. Mix well.
5. Add sugar-butter-egg mixture to dry ingredients and mix until it forms a smooth dough. Do not overmix.
6. Smash chocolate into smaller pieces with the back of a large knife. Medium-sized (about 1 cc) chunks are best. Toss results into dough and massage well.
7. Preheat oven to 350°F or 180°C.
8. Shape dough into spheres roughly the size of ping-pong balls and placed on parchment-lined baking sheet.
9. Bake dough balls in preheated oven. Remove when golden brown. Let cool and enjoy.
