Best Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

I’ve been so busy scrap-booking lately, that my cooking seems to have taken, um, the *back burner* Pun intended! :-D

Anyhow, another recipe that I have altered slightly to make my own! They are the best and easiest cookies ever! Very moist, not crunchy at all…my children LOVE them, and ask to make them with me daily it seems!

I like to use silicone baking sheets for my cookies. As with all cookies, be careful not to over-bake! When you take them out of the oven, they should look almost a little raw in the centre, but golden around the edges…

Best Chocolate Chip Cookies

3/4 Cup White Sugar

3/4 Cup Brown Sugar

1 Cup Margarine

1 tsp. Vanilla Extract

1 Large Egg

2 1/3 Cups White Flour

1 tsp. Baking Soda

1/2 tsp. Salt

1 pkg. Chocolate Chip (I like the PC Decadent Brand)

Heat oven to 375. Mix the 2 types of sugar, margarine, vanilla and egg well. Stir in flour, soda, salt, and chocolate chips. Dough should be firm.  If it isn’t, add in a touch more flour and mix thoroughly until it is firmer.

Drop the dough by rounded TBSP. about 2 inches apart onto silicone (or greased regular) baking sheets. Bake about 8 minutes until edges are lightly browned.

Grab a coffee, or a milk, and enjoy!

    Honest, all of my recipes are great! I am not interested in difficult and time consuming recipes. The ones I post are simple, easy and taste great! Isn’t that what really matters?

    So glad to have so much positive feedback (especially on the muffins)

    If you like the Chocolate Chip Cookies, try the Easy Peanut Butter ones! 3 ingredients, so quick, and soooo yummy!

    Fantastic recipe! I was lacking some chocolate chips, so I took this recipe and I added a TBSP of cocoa powder and a little bit of Hershy’s syrup and they came out delicious! =-D Thanks for sharing all your great recipe!!

    Hello, I just wanted to say that these chocolate chip cookies were very good. My husband(Mr Picky)said they were “the best cookies I have made to date”. So thanks to you for this recipe, my husband was very happy with them, and the kids loved them too.

    Next recipe for me to try is your famous banana muffins, can’t wait to tast them

    Thanks again……..Andrea

    Are you creaming the margarine and sugar in these? Also, why margarine and not butter?

    thanks

    Yes, you cream the butter and sugar. I have no idea why the margarine works better, but it really does – the taste of the cookies is so much better with margarine!

    Have you ever considered substituting chocolate chips for chocolate ice cream? Because here i am, lacking chocolate chips and unable to go out and purchase some. Perhaps they will taste like low fat brownies? :)
