#bakingcookies

My little sister Chere was making cookies with Grandma Cooper. Now, when Grandma Cooper got into baking mode, it was serious business. She and Chere had already made a big batch of chocolate chip cookies and were halfway through a round of oatmeal raisin. The kitchen smelled amazing — like warm butter and melted chocolate — and Greg and I couldn’t resist. Greg’s my cousin, and back in those…

Prepare de oven: Preheat your oven to 175ºC (350ºF). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda. Set aside.

Combine wet ingridients: In a large bowl, mix the melted butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and salt until smooth. Add the vanilla extract and eggs, mixing well after each addition.

Form the dough: Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing. Fold in the chocolate chips.

Shape the cookies: Use a spoon or cookie scoop to drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving enough space between cookies to spread.

Bake: Place the cookies in the oven and bake 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden but the centers look slightly underbaked.

Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
