Chocolate Chip Cookies...again!

Ok, ok, so we reeeeeally like chocolate chip cookies here at the Hive, and my last batch of cookies have been gone for awhile so it was time to make a new batch.

Today I decided to be adventurous in the kitchen...and make another mess...and create a brand new cookie recipe. The last cookie recipe that I shared with you makes a slightly crunchy cookie, and I'm determined to make a chewy version. I'd say that today I was pretty successful. After baking the cookies and sampling them, because you must sample them, Ava said, "Mom, you get 1,289 points for these," and Lyla said, "It's almost too much good to eat!" Jason has yet to try them, but I can almost guarantee that he'll be sampling them as soon as he gets home.

Ingredients:

2 cups all purpose flour

1 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup butter, melted (I use Earth Balance as it is vegan)

1 cup brown sugar (I had dark brown sugar on hand this time)

1/2 cup white sugar

1/4 cup vegetable oil

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

1-2 tablespoons water if needed

1/2 - 1 cup chocolate chips (I use Enjoy Life brand as they are vegan)


Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees and line cookie sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

3. In a medium bowl, use a mixer to blend the butter, brown sugar, white sugar, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.

4. Mix in the dry ingredients a little at a time until it is all incorporated. You many need to add some water to achieve the proper texture for your mixture. Mine started to get a bit crumbly so I added in about 2 tablespoons water and it was perfect.

5. Using a spoon, stir in your chocolate chips. To be honest, I don't usually measure out my chocolate chips beforehand...I just add enough to make it look yummy.




6. Make about 1 inch balls out of your cookie dough and place on your cookie sheet. Place them about 2 inches apart. This batch made about 4 dozen cookies for me.

7. Bake at 325 for about 12-14 minutes.

8. Try to not to eat all of the cookies before your husband gets home from work. ;)







Enjoy! And let me know if you tried this recipe out!
