"Bet-You-Can't-Eat-Just-One" Brown Sugar Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

Let me begin by saying that I love chocolate chip cookies. For real, for real. I love chocolate chip cookies and this recipe makes me love them even more. The brown sugar makes it oh-so-good and literally melts in your mouth! Check out this “Bet-You-Can’t-Eat-Just-One” brown sugar chocolate chip cookie recipe.

Ingredients:

1 cup salted butter* softened
1 cup white (granulated) sugar
1 cup light brown sugar packed
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp baking powder
1 tsp sea salt
2 cups chocolate chips (or chunks, or chopped chocolate)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking soda, salt, and baking powder. Set aside.
2. Cream together butter and sugars until combined.
Beat in eggs and vanilla until fluffy.
3. Mix in the dry ingredients until combined.
4. Add a 12 oz package of chocolate chips and mix well.
5. Roll 2-3 TBS (depending on how large you like your cookies) of dough at a time into balls and place them evenly spaced on your prepared cookie sheets. (alternately, use a small cookie scoop to make your cookies).
6. Bake in preheated oven for approximately 8-10 minutes. Take them out when they are just barely starting to turn brown.
7. Let them sit on the baking pan for 2 minutes before removing to a cooling rack.

Things to consider when baking these cookies:

Soften your butter. If you are planning on making these, take the butter out of the fridge first thing in the morning so it’s ready to go when you need it.

Measure the flour correctly. Be sure to use a measuring cup made for dry ingredients. I usually measure flour by scooping it into the measuring cup and leveling it with a knife. I say, measure it the way you always do. Just make sure that the dough matches the consistency of the dough in the photos in this post.

Don’t be shy: Use lots of chocolate chips. It’s chocolate chip cookies, not cookies with chocolate chips. Put chips accordingly.

DO NOT over-bake these chocolate chip cookies! I cannot stress this enough. Even though this particular batch of chocolate chip cookies will not look done when you pull them out of the oven, that is GOOD.
