Do you remember Soft Batch cookies from your childhood? These were an essential item at slumber parties when I was a teenager, along with Nacho Cheese Doritos, Pizza Hut stuffed crust pepperoni pizza,(or the Big Foot), Coca-Cola Classic, and peanut butter M&Ms –it is a wonder how I graduated high school weighing 100 lbs soaking wet. I like cookies pretty much any way I can get them, I do not discriminate between soft & chewy, thin & crispy, or dense & cakey. I like them ALL!
I do not have a soft & chewy chocolate chip cookie recipe in my database, and every girl needs a variety of chocolate chip cookie recipes, so my research began. I scaled down this recipe from recipezaar. These cookies were flat, soft and chewy –thanks to all the butter in them.
SOFT & CHEWY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
yield: 3 dozen cookies
2 sticks butter, softened
2 eggs
1 T molasses
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 T water
1 c sugar
1 c brown sugar
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
3 c AP flour
6 oz chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Cream together butter, eggs, molasses, vanilla and water. In another bowl sift together all dry ingredients. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients. Stir in chocolate chips.
Roll dough into 1-inch balls, placing 1 1/2 inches apart on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Bake 8-10 minutes, keep your eye on them, you do not want to over bake these cookies.
*I baked my first batch 8 minutes and as you can see it wasn’t long enough. Ten minutes seemed to be the perfect time for my oven.
Cool a couple minutes on your cookie sheet, then move to a wire rack to cool completely. ENJOY!
