chocolate chip cookies



Chocolate chip cookie is an all time favorite in my family. Since Ayaan has discovered the art of eating cookies,cakes and ice creams I always try to make new items for him. Sometimes they are a big success and sometimes they are a big failure.
This chocolate chip cookie was a big hit. Even My hubby loved it. After their daily play time together they will come home and both take a big glass of warm milk and dip the cookies in it and eat it. And Ayaan will enjoy them with out any fuss. I wish it was this easy to make him to eat his lunch and dinner! But I must say it has been a real progress now days not as picky as before!
Anyways..here is the recipe for an easy to make chocolate chip cookie!

Ingredients:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

  •  Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt; set aside.

Mix in the sifted ingredients until just blended. Stir in the chocolate chips by hand using a spoon. Drop cookie dough large teaspoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheets. Cookies should be about 3 inches apart.
