The Best Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe Ever. Maybe. Probably.

Who out there isn’t looking for that perfect chocolate chip cookie recipe?  I know Jenni and I always are.  Here’s one that is borrowed from our friend Hannah’s Aunt Katie’s cookie recipe, and made our own.  So delicious.  So yummy.  They don’t last long.  Don’t expect to bring any leftovers for lunch to work because everyone in our house finds ways to sneak just one more in…  So without further ado I give you…

the best chocolate chip cookie recipe ever

The Best Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe (ever).

Ingredients:

In large bowl, mix:

1.5 cup flour
1cup oatmeal
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt

In separate bowl combine
6 TBSP melted butter (we use unsalted- maybe you can use salted butter and skip the tsp salt above?)
6 TBSP Crisco
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup white sugar

1 egg
1 egg yolk
1 tsp Nielsen Massey Vanilla  Pure Extract (You don’t have to use this brand, but to be honest, I find using higher quality vanilla extract will give me better cookies every single time.  Worth the investment).

Mix “wet” ingredients into the flour mixture.  Add 2 cups chocolate chips.  Drop by teaspoon onto cookie sheet lined with parchment paper

Bake 325 15-18 minutes

 

We did receive samples from Nielsen Massey but that doesn’t change our opinion.  Their vanillas and other products simply add more and more to the flavor of the cookie.

    Looks like a winner and I agree about investing in real vanilla…I used to use imitation vanilla until I started working in a restaurant that had a head baker and he told me to NEVER use imitation vanilla (I think he thought it was one of the ten commandments) so I started using good quality real vanilla extract (or real vanilla beans when I can find them) and it makes a huge difference in taste.

    • queenb says

      I always kind of discarded that theory until I started using real vanilla and oh goodness. The difference!
