Sav’s Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 cup salted butter, softened
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tsps. vanilla
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. sea salt (can use kosher or regular salt)
  • 2 cups chocolate chips (we use the mini, but any will do)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or spray with nonstick spray.
  2. Mix the flour, baking soda, salt, and baking powder in a separate bowl. Set aside.
  3. Cream together the butter and sugars until combined. Beat in the eggs and vanilla until fluffy.
  4. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until fully incorporated. Add the chocolate chips and stir until well combined.

Rolling, Rolling, Rolling
5. Roll 2-3 Tbsp of dough at a time into balls and place them evenly spaced on your prepared cookie sheets. You can also use a small cookie scoop.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 8-10 minutes.
7. Take them out when they are just barely starting to turn brown. Remember, the bottoms will brown quicker than the tops.

Pro Tip:
You could slather your naked body with the dough—just a thought because the dough is fantastic. If you prefer your cookies crispier, feel free to bake them a little longer. My father-in-law loved his cookies a bit on the burnt side. These cookies always remind me of the Soft Batch Cookies from back in the day!

Bon Bon Cookies

These Bon Bon Cookies are fantastic!  Sadly, I only make these once a year because I eat every single one of them.  My waistline does not approve.  I usually make these at Christmas time.  The intention is to give them away to people.  Yet, the reality is I sit, and I eat them.  All of them.

Bon Bon Cookies

1/2 c. butter

3/4 c. powdered sugar

1 tsp. vanilla

1.5 c. self-rising flour

Mix well; add whipping cream if too dry.

Next, take Hersey Kisses and roll the dough around the kiss.  Make a ball and place it on an ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes.

Frosting

1 c. powdered sugar

2 Tbsp whipping cream (possibly more, it needs to be dippable)

1 tsp. vanilla

Food coloring.

Once your Bon Bon Cookies are cooled, dip the tops in the frosting.  Place on wax paper until the frosting dries.  You can do several little dishes of the frosting to color them all differently.  However, I do not have the time or patience to do that.  So, I make them into one color and call it a day.  I like them without frosting better.
