Aunt Ruth is a great cook and her desserts are always a great treat. Thankfully, she shared her chocolate chip recipe with me too. Yummy.
Homemade Chocolate Chip Cookies
3½ dozen cookies
Ingredients:
| 1 | cup (2 sticks) of butter - no substitutes |
| 3/4 | cup packed light brown sugar |
| 1/2 | cup granulated sugar |
| 1/4 | cup light corn syrup |
| 1 | egg |
| 2 | teaspoon vanilla |
| 21/2 | cups all purpose flour |
| 1 | teaspoon baking soda |
| 1/4 | teaspoon salt |
| 1 | package (10-12 oz.) of chips |
Directions:
Heat the oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl, mix the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar by hand until light and fluffy. Add the corn syrup, egg, and vanilla and beat until well blended.
Mix the flour, baking soda, and salt together in a separate bowl. Then slowly add this mix to the larger bowl until they are thoroughly combined.
Once the dough is well mixed, stir in chips of any flavor.
Drop by rounded teaspoon onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned and almost set.
Cool slightly, then remove from cookie sheet to a wire rack. Let cool completely. These cookies will be soft and chewy.
