The NO-MIXER required chocolate chip cookie recipe

1/2 cup of butter - equivalent to 1 stick
3/4 cups of regular sugar
3/4 cup of brown sugar
3/4 tsp of baking soda
1 tsp of salt
2 and 1/4 cups of all purpose flour
2 large eggs
1 tbsp of vanilla extract
1 bag of chocolate chip morsels

——————————————–

Microwave your butter in a microwave-safe dish. Let cool before adding to your mixture. After all, you don’t want scrambled eggs in your cookie dough.

In a large mixing bowl; mix your dry ingredients (sugars, flour, salt, baking soda). I whisk mine a bit to make sure there aren’t any lumps. Add in your wet ingredients (vanilla extract, butter and eggs). Add in your bag of chocolate chips and start folding the mixture until it resembles cookie dough (photo provided lol). I originally started with my whisk before realizing the dough was going to be too think for it. Whatever works best for you.

I used a spoon to scoop out exact portions of cookie dough, which I then rolled in my [clean] palms. I got best results with damp hands. I used a baking spray to grease the foil on my cookie sheet. Place your balled cookie dough onto the cookie sheet, leaving about an inch in between (on each side) each one. Press slightly on the tops of each ball, just to push them down slightly (photo provided).

Bake at 325�F for 8-12 minutes. This will vary depending on your own oven.

Yields: Approximately 3 dozen cookies

MMMM… I hope you enjoy them as much as we did. I plan to make another batch of them on Christmas Eve day, along with homemade sugar cookies, shortbread cookies and tea filled cookies. We’re planning on having a lot of company beginning on Christmas Eve day, so I figured finger foods would be best and cookies will be fresh for a couple of days!
