Soft and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

My husband loves thin and crispy chocolate chip cookies, but I love soft and chewy chocolate chip cookies. These cookies don’t expand as much as the thin and crispy ones. I like that it’s not too thin or thick. Both of these recipes do have a similar taste because they use the same ingredients. The only difference is the amount of brown sugar and granulated sugar. Brown sugar makes the cookies more soft and chewy while granulated sugar makes the cookies more flat and crispier.

Ingredients:

  • 2 sticks Butter
  • 1/2 cup Sugar
  •  1 cup Brown Sugar
  •  2 Eggs
  • 2 1/4 cups Flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  •  1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 2 Cups Chocolate Chips



Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350.

In a stand mixer, cream the butter, sugar, and brown sugar.

Add in the eggs, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix on low.

Add in flour, a little at a time.

When the cookie dough is ready, stir in the chocolate chips using a spatula.

Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Roll the dough into balls and place them on the sheet.

The dough is a little bit soft, but it can still form into a ball. By rolling the dough, you’ll get a nice, smooth surface. If you prefer texture then just scoop the dough onto the sheet.
