My Cookie Recipe

I used to make these cookies back when I was in university. They used to come out really good and everyone always nagged me about when I would bake some more. I forgot what brand of brown sugar I used but for the actually chocolate chips I used to use the brand Baker. I haven’t made the cookies since I came back to Kuwait because I can’t find decent brown sugar and I can’t find Baker chocolate chips which sucks. Anyway here is the recipe, I forgot where I found it:

Chocolate Chip Cookies

1 cup (2 sticks) (226 grams) unsalted butter, room temperature
3/4 cup (150 grams) white sugar
1 1/4 cups (270 grams) firmly packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 3/4 cups (525 grams) all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons (10 grams) baking soda
1 1/4 teaspoons (6 grams) baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups (375 grams) semisweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.

In a mixing bowl cream the butter. Add the sugars and beat until well combined. Beat in eggs one at a time making sure to beat well after each addition. Add vanilla and beat until incorporated.

In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture and beat until just incorporated. Stir in the chocolate chips and nuts, if using. The cookie mixture will be moist and hold together.

Using two tablespoons, drop about 2 tablespoons of dough (38 grams) on the prepared baking sheets. Do not flatten cookies. Bake on the center rack of oven for 12 minutes, or until golden brown and still soft when gently pressed.

Makes about 48 cookies.

    baking cookies doesnt take long. the preperation process and the cleaning up process does :)

    i dont know how to cook for shit but i know how to bake cakes, cookies and biscuits.

  7. Mark says:

    oh i should add, dont use a mixer to prepare the dough. it comes out too smooth. when you do them by hand the cookies turns out more attractive and chunkier..

  8. Will you stop it with the cookies already :) Everytime you talk about cookies it makes me want to buy some (or go to Kuwait just to taste those Choowy Goowy cookies…they look amazing!).

    I think I’ll definitely try your recipe this weekend. Thanks.

    Hi, you can easily find a variety of brown sugar brands here in Kuwait, go to the Sultan Center or any well-stocked Co-Op.
