The Beyond Easy…and Amazing Chocolate Chip Cookies
The Beyond Easy…and Amazing Chocolate Chip Cookies that any level baker can whip up this holiday season.
Okay. You sitting down? I baked some cookies. Shocker to some that know me….. pleasantly surprised to others. You see, the kitchen is not my favorite place to hang out….unless I am baking or making something good to eat. For as long as I have been married the deal with my hubby is he cooks, I clean. A marriage made in heaven. Not meaning to brag, but he also does the grocery shopping….. I know right!
I went to a cookie swap last weekend and showed up with my favorite ‘beyond easy and amazing chocolate chip cookies’. My girl Lily and I hung in our jammies all afternoon and baked cookies. We had a few too.
The Beyond Easy…and Amazing Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients
2 1/2 flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
2 1/4 sticks of soft butter
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
Large Egg
1 1/2 tsp butter nut vanilla extract ( if you can’t find use regular) The butter nut vanilla is my secret ingredient.
1 1/4 bag of semi -sweet chocolate chips ( 2 1/4 cups)
What you do:
- preheat oven to 375
- Spray baking sheets with nonstick spray – do not use butter to grease down your pans.
- In a bowl mix your flours, baking soda, powder and salt together.
- Blend your butter sticks and sugars together in another bowl. Beat until it is mixed well. Beat in your egg and vanilla.
- Mix in your flour mixture until blended. ( You can add a little bit at a time to insure that it get’s mixed well)
- Stir in your chocolate chips….before you eat them all.
- Drop your cookies using a spoonful size amount on your cookie sheets about 2 inches apart. The cookies will spread so make sure they are spaced well enough on your sheet.
- Bake the cookies for 10 mins or until they are golden brown ( light brown if you want real chewy)
- Let the cookies cool for a couple mins on the backing sheet before you transfer them to a wire rack.
- Eat as needed.
I have a feeling we will be making more of these cookies over the holidays……and probably in our pajama’s.

I’ll have to try your recipe. I love choc chip cookies
marty- these are seriously the best!
Looks amazing and love your helper!….Now when I sent my hubby to the grocery store for an orange (which he ate prior) that I needed for a recipe for a dinner party….he came home with a grapefruit!….Now I must admit this grapefruit had a lot of orange in the rind, but nonetheless it was a grapefruit….I sent him back to the store and made him text me a picture before he bought it!…Now he is getting better and have to admit he is more than willing to make the trek to the store when I need him too….so can’t be too hard on him…and it made for great dinner party humor!….Good job Laura the baker!…Merry Christmas!!
