This post title may seem familiar to you if you follow my blog, and that is because I shared this recipe with you a few months ago after receiving my newest photography surface from Replica Surfaces, a company near and dear to my heart. You may remember that the surface I received was called Denscape and literally looked like a family room in a snowy lodge, with a big fireplace and comfy chairs in the background. On sight, I knew I needed to photograph my Soft and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies up against that surface. I would, however, be remiss if I did not include a post with that same, exact, recipe when sharing my Christmas cookies, because these are a staple in our house in the month of December, and at least one of these babies is left out for Santa to enjoy on Christmas Eve.

To make these cookies, you are going to need flour, baking soda, Himalayan pink salt, butter, granulated sugar, dark brown sugar, vanilla extract, eggs, and semi-sweet chocolate chips.

Begin by preheating your oven to 375˚F and prepare two cookie sheets by lining them with ungreased silpats; set aside.

Next, in a small bowl, add your flour, baking soda and salt, whisk to combine thoroughly, and set aside. In a large bowl, beat together your butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract until creamy. Add in your eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Slowly mix in your dry ingredients and blend until they are fully incorporated. Empty your chocolate chips on top of your batter and work them into your dough with a spatula or your hands. I generally prefer to use my hands to make sure that they get evenly distributed throughout my dough.

Roll your dough into large balls and place them about 2 inches apart on your prepared cookie sheets. Bake them for 9 to 11 minutes or until they are golden brown. Cool them on your cookie sheets for about 2 minutes or until they cool and firm up a bit, before removing them to wire racks to cool completely. Store your cookies in an airtight container.

You can also make this recipe into cookie bars if you prefer. To do that, prepare your cookie dough the same way as directed above, and spread it into a greased 15 x 10-inch sheet pan. Bake it for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Set your cookie bars in your pan on a wire rack to cool. Once fully cooled, cut into small square bars.

I promise you…one bite into these Soft and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies, and this recipe will become your all-time favorite! Make sure you leave some out for Santa as well (if you’re willing to share). They might score you some extra-special presents!
