the best chocolate chip cookies.

ever.  period.

and maybe some of you already use this recipe, but that's okay.  these cookies are so yummy, it's worth repeating.

................................................................................................................................................................

here's the recipe:

best chocolate chip cookies 

  • 2 1/4 cups flour
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 cup butter, softened*
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 1 3oz. package instant vanilla pudding (to clarify: just use the dry pudding mix, don't actually make the pudding)
  • 2 eggs
  • 12 oz. chocolate chips

combine flour and baking soda; set aside.

combine butter, sugars, vanilla, and pudding mix and beat until smooth and creamy.

beat in eggs.

gradually add flour mixture.

stir in chocolate chips.

bake at 375o for 10-12 minutes. (I pull mine out a tad under-done and then let them sit on the pan for a minute or so.)

*for high altitude, substitute 1/2 cup butter with 1/2 cup shortening.  then you won't end up with cookies that look like pancakes.

I use pampered chef's large cookie scoop for dropping the dough onto the cookie sheet.  fast and easy.

tempted?  all that's missing is a glass of milk.

trust me.  you won't be disappointed.

and if you are fortunate enough to have a little helper cookie monster like I do, then you don't have to worry about inhaling the whole batch single-handedly.

 (looks like they passed QC.)

although after one bite you might just be tempted to lock yourself in your room and eat them all up.  and then when your kids ask, "hey didn't you make cookies?"  you can say, "cookies!  WHAT COOKIES?"  

"I never made any cookies."

enjoy!
