Chocolate chip cookies

Ok first, make yourself a cup of black coffee. No seriously, that’s one of the ingedients that make this recipe so yummy. If you don’t like coffee or do not have coffee don’t worry, just use hot water instead. But it really make the flavor pop in chocolate chip cookies. 

Second, turn on some music! My son and I love listening to Taylor Swifts station on iheartradio. If at anytime a fun song that you love to dance to or your kids love to dance to just take a break and dance with them. It makes life fun and it’s a great bonding experience with your kids. When Shake It Off comes on we always dance around the room, it’s so much fun! 

Ok back to the cookies 🙂
I found this recipe online and changed it a bit, just like almost all recipes I find.  
Ingredients:

1 Cup softened butter (I’ll leave mine out all day to naturally soften) 

1 Cup white sugar

1 Cup Packed brown sugar

2 eggs

2 tsp vanilla extract

3 cup all purpose flour

1 tsp baking soda

2 tsp hot black coffee

1/2 tsp salt

2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips
Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees

• Dissolve baking soda in hot coffee in a bowl and set aside. 
• Put butter, white sugar and brown sugar in mixing bowl. Mix until creamy and smooth 
• Beat in eggs one at a time
• Add to the coffee and baking soda mixture along with salt and vanilla, mix together
• Stir in flour until it is blended together but do not over mix. 
• Add chocolate chips and mix with wooden spoon 
• Use cookie scoop (I use the Wilton 8″ stainless steel cookie scoop) to put cookies on cookie sheet. I have three different cookie sheet sizes and the biggest one I put 3 cookies across and 5 down

• Bake for about 11 minutes or until edges are nicely brown. 
• When done let them sit on the cookie sheet for a minute to relax and then put them onto cooling rack.
