The Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of softened butter
- 1 cup of granulated white sugar
- 1 cup of packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons of pure vanilla extract
- 3 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon of baking soda
- 2 teaspoons of hot water
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 2 cups of semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup of chopped walnuts
Instructions:
- Preheat Your Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated white sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Prepare the Baking Soda Solution: In a small bowl, dissolve the baking soda in hot water. Add this mixture to your batter along with the salt, stirring until fully integrated.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the flour to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips and chopped walnuts, ensuring an even distribution throughout the dough.
- Shape the Cookies: Using a large spoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing them evenly.
- Bake to Perfection: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 10 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown.
- Cool and Enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve and enjoy these ultimate chocolate chip cookies fresh from the oven!
