Perfect Texture Chocolate Chip Cookies

I was on a mission to find the perfect chocolate chip cookies- crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside. After reading this article about trouble shooting your cookies, I think I have finally found a good one. 

MAKES 2 DOZEN COOKIES

INGREDIENTS

8 oz butter, at room temperature

1 1/2 c brown sugar

1/2 c white sugar

2 large eggs, at room temperature

1 T vanilla extract

2 1/2 c flour

1 t baking soda

1/2 t salt

2 c chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Beat butter with an electric mixer until creamy. Add the sugar and beat for 5 minutes on high speed until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating for another minute after each addition. Add the vanilla and mix well. 

Whist together dry ingredients. Add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture in two or three additions, mixing on low speed just until the flour is incorporated. Stir in the chocolate chips.

Use a 1 T cookie scoop. Bake for 10-12 minutes.

I found that I needed to add a little more salt and some water to this recipe to get the cookies just right. Make sure to do a test batch of two cookies first to make sure everything is looking good.
