Chocolate Chip Cookies Joanna Gaines

 Ever since we moved into our new house my go to chocolate chip cookie recipe has just not worked out. It always works- that's like my thing, I make the best chocolate chip cookies. So this has been troubling. I finally decided to branch out and try a new recipe, so of course I tested Joanna Gaines recipe first and it was delicious. Problem solved. Moving on. 

Chocolate Chip Cookies 

2 1/2 Cups All Purpose Flour 

1 heaping tsp Baking Soda 

1/2 tsp sea salt 

8 TBSP butter, room temperature 

2 C Brown Sugar

2 Eggs 

1 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract 

1 1/2 Cups Semisweet Chocolate Chips (I usually do half milk chocolate chips)

Directions:

1. Arrange a rack in the center of the oven and heat to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Place the flour, baking soda, and salt together in a medium bowl; set aside.
3. Place the butter and sugar In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. (Alternatively, use an electric hand mixer and large bowl.) Beat on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the eggs and beat until blended. Add the vanilla and beat until blended.
4. Turn the mixer off and add the flour mixture. Mix on medium speed just until the flour is mixed in, then turn the mixer to high speed for a few seconds to pull the dough together; it will be chunky. Add the chocolate chips and beat on high speed to thoroughly and quickly mix in the chips, about 5 seconds.
5. Drop the dough by large spoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheet; don’t flatten them. Bake until lightly browned on top, 10 to 11 minutes. Cool on the pan on a rack for 1 minute, then transfer the cookies to the rack to cool completely. Repeat with the remaining dough.
