These cookies are AMAZING! I'm a big fan of soft chocolate cookies, and these fit the bill. Another thing I love about homemade cookies - you can taste that hint of salt!
I hope you enjoy these as much as I do!
Killer Bea's Cookies
Ingredients:
2 1/4 c. sifted flour
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking power
1 c. butter (soft)
1 c. packed brown sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. water
1 egg
3 c. chocolate chips (I use just a 12 oz. bag of semi-sweet, and it is plenty for me)
**For a list of instructions minus the awesome pictures, scroll to the bottom.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Sift together the flour, salt, and baking powder.
- Blend the butter, brown sugar, vanilla, and water.
- Note: You are probably smarter and a better cook/chef than I am, but my suggestion to you is: Don't use a wire whisk for this! Everything just clumped in the middle of the whisk. A fork is a much better choice.
- Also, make sure the butter is VERY soft (but not liquid/melty). Mine was soft, but not soft enough. It took way more effort than it should have to blend these four ingredients.
- After blended together, add the egg. Blend until creamy.
- Add dry ingredients. Mix well.
- I add half, blend, then add the other half.
- Add chocolate chips.
- I use a teaspoon to plop them on the baking sheet. They can be placed pretty close together as these do not spread/flatten; they just plump up slightly.
- If using a teaspoon for size, this recipe makes approximately 60 small (Famous Amos in diameter size) cookies, depending on how much batter you eat along the way :)
- Bake 8-10 minutes.
- Enjoy!
