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.

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!

Cinnamon Roll Cake

Cinnamon Roll Cake

I had company over, and I needed something for dessert.  Enter the Cinnamon Roll Cake.  Wow!  This was so simple and so good.  Very easy, and since I have most of these things on hand, I can make it more often!  I may even be wild and cook this batter in a waffle maker!

Cinnamon Roll Cake

3 c. self-rising flour

1.5 c. milk

2 eggs

4 tsp. vanilla

1 stick butter, melted

Combine and mix all these ingredients.  Place in a greased 13×9 dish.  This is super thick, like bread.  Please do your best to spread it out, but mine was not evenly spread.

~Topping~

1 c. brown sugar

1 T. cinnamon

Spread over “cake” batter.  Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.  Allow cooling.

~Icing~

3 c. powdered sugar

1-2 T. water

1 tsp. vanilla

In a saucepan, bring this mixture to a boil.  Stir for a smooth, syrupy consistency.  Add the water 1 T at a time.  You may need to add more than 2 T, so eyeball it.  Once it is smooth, pour over the cake, and it will begin to harden like a glaze.

I love cinnamon rolls, and this Cinnamon Roll Cake fit the bill, and my tastebuds loved it.
