First blog post = Super exciting! But everyone has to start somewhere, might as well be at now! Tonight I wanted to bake something and make it mighty quick. What can I say other than this chica didn't feel up to doing a ton of dishes, so I decided just to whip up a hearty batch of chocolate chip cookies from scratch. Easy to make and the time before this I made them they were gone before the person I made them for could get one. Didn't help matters that that happened to be a day where I was baking 2 types of cookies and a cake. Most of the last batch ended up being made into frozen raspberry mousse sandwiches. I'll be sure to post the raspberry mousse recipe on a later date.
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter - softened
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup light brown sugar
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour (unbleached)
1 teaspoon baking soda
HUGE bag of chocolate chips
You can also had a 1/2 cup cocoa if you want a basic chocolate batter. First things first is preheat the oven to 375. Beat butter, sugar, brown sugar, vanilla and salt together. Please be certain to let your butter sit out and soften. I made that mistake twice now. (You would think I would learn.) Also, don't put it in the microwave. It turns out all the stuff I learned in college about a microwave being able to cook everything is so not true. In another bowl mix together your flour, baking soda, and cocoa (if desired). Then slowly mix it into your batter. Now is the fun part, adding the chocolate chips. I used an entire bag. However the person I am baking these for loves her chocolate chips.

See! Damn, look good enough to eat.Next thing I highly recommend is parchment paper. That stuff is fantastic. I want to take up stock. Maybe I could... moving on.
Mmmm...clumps of cookie dough!Last but not least, bake for 8-10 mins, depending on your oven. Mine was closer to 10, but I think I could have left them in a smidge longer. Alas, not everyone likes their cookies as crispy as I do.
You can't deny it. You want one.
Well that is all for now!
