Brown Sugar Cookies

Brown Sugar Chocolate Chip Cookies
Any form of chocolate chip cookie is like my "bad subject". I can not make cookies. They always come out too flat or crispy or whatever and I always get so mad and hate them and say I will never make chocolate chip cookies again. Well, I found this recipe and decided to face my fear again and try making them. They came out AMAZING- just how I have always wanted my chocolate chip cookies to turn out. They are just right. A little crispy around the edge, soft in the middle, chewy.....they are delicious!! (I had a few white chocolate chips that I needed to use up so I threw them in so that is why there are some white spots in the cookies.)

Ingredients

2 1/4 c flour
1 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp salt
3/4 c butter
1 1/4 c brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 egg
1 1/4 c semi sweet chocolate chips

Preheat the oven to 350 F.

In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

In a large bowl, cream the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until fluffy.

Slowly add the flour mixture and mix until almost all incorporated. Then add the chocolate chips and stir them in.

Drop by rounded tablespoons on greased baking sheet. Bake 9-11 min at 350F. Remove to wire rack to cool.

I always hate my cookies too! I'm constantly in search of new chocolate chip cookie recipes, hoping that some day I'll find one that turns out well. I'll have to try this one out.

Ditto...whenever I have to make cookies for something, I always just make cookie bars, and cook them in a cake pan so I can cut them into squares. They're pretty hard to screw up that way. haha. But, I'll have to try these, they look yummy!

I made these cookies yesterday to give to the girls I visit teach. They came out well. I didn't have enough chocolate chips for all of them, so I made half with chocolate chips, then half with broken pieces of peppermint patties. I learned a lesson: peppermint patties in cookies don't work very well! They oozed out and were kind of a mess, but the majority of them ended up looking okay and they tasted pretty good, though regular choc. chips are better.

Those cookies look soooo good! I can't get over how talented you are: cooking, sewing, etc. I'm jealous. You need to send some of that talent my way!
