A Picture A Day In December: Best Evah Chocolate Chip Cookies

Thankfully the recipe was not under lock and key,

and Mrs. R was more than happy to share this amazing chocolate chip cookie recipe:

HERSHEY'S MORE CHIPS CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

1 1/2 cups butter

1 cup sugar

1 cup packed yellow brown sugar 

3 eggs

2 tsp vanilla

1 1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

3 1/2 cup flour

1 cups Hershey Milk Chocolate Chips (Original recipe called for 2 cups, but 1 cup was perfect for us.)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
2. Cream together the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.  Add baking powder to batter along with salt. Stir in flour and chocolate chips. Drop by large spoonfuls onto ungreased pans.
3. Bake for about 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until edges are nicely browned.

A Side note: that just happens to be under rather than to the side...

When Youngest and her friend were making this recipe,

they put in 1 1/2 "cups" baking soda rather than "teaspoons"...  

thankfully Mrs. R was suspicious when her daughter told her 

she would need to buy more soda as they were now out.  

So with Mrs. R scooping out what she thought was all of the soda 

save a 1 1/2 tsp, the cookies were saved.
Yay for the Bungalow Clan!

We are unsure if this special step was the reason for the awesomeness of this particular batch of cookies.  

So to be truly responsible we felt this part of the bakers process needed to be shared in case you wanted to be absolutely sure they turned out as awesome as they did.

If you would like to try this unconventional step... by all means rock that baking soda.
