The small amount of work it takes to make these amazing cookies is nothing compared to the results at the end!

The Food Network’s Tyler Florence makes a traditional cookie batter using softened butter mixed with brown and white sugar, resulting in a fluffy center and crisp chewy edge.

I take them to the next level by using fine quality chocolate such as Ghirardelli premium baking chips!  I’ve used this recipe for years and it remains a crowd pleaser at company potlucks and family gatherings. 😊

 

This really is the perfect chocolate chip cookie.

 

My Mom was feeling under the weather so I spent a couple days with her and while she slept I baked her cookies… for those familiar with my blog, you might notice this isn’t my kitchen… 😊

 

Start by mixing softened butter with white and brown sugar.

I couldn’t find her mixer so I did it by hand…

 

Once fluffy mix in the eggs and vanilla.

 

Then incorporate the dry mixture.

 

Mix until just combined.

 

And lastly fold in the chocolate chips.

 

I like to chill the dough in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes before I form the cookies and bake.

 

Luckily my mom had a cookie scoop to streamline the process.

 

I under-bake them by a minute or so since they continue to “cook” after pulled out of the oven. By under-baking you’ll achieve a soft chewy center. 🙂

 

Ghirardelli chocolate is SO DELICIOUS!  These cookies are also SO DELICIOUS!

 

Hands down, this is the best chocolate chip cookie recipe I’ve found.  Enjoy 😊 xoxo
