Chocolately Goodness

If there anything happier than a perfectly make chocolate chip cookie? You know the kind. A gooey, warm, melty, soft round bundle of joy?!? THAT is a pocket of sunshine.

What is better than finding one of said cookies?

Making one and then enjoying the fruits of your labors : )

Yum.


In the past, I had difficulties creating any chocolate chip cookie that was relatively edible. My dear friend, Susan, is a perfect cookie baker and has been so generous to share some of her tips with me over the years. Here they are:

1st: use salted butter, softened throughout the day on your counter. It tastes best

2nd: after completing dough, wrap it up and chill it in the fridge for an hour or two. Keep the dough nice and cool until it is popped in the oven. This will keep the cookies from spreading.

3rd: when time to bake, scoop out the chilled dough with a small cookie dough/ ice cream scoop. You will get a perfect shape every time.

4th: Use a silicone baking mat on your cookie sheet. Easy release and ideal consistency!

Use these few tips and you will be ONE HAPPY CAMPER!!!
