Best Chocolate Chip Cookie. Ever.


My sister-in-law made the most amazing chocolate chip cookies I have ever had, so I begged for the recipe. She said she had tried millions of chocolate chip cookie recipes and the Kitchen Aide recipe is the best by far. So I decided to try it out myself and sweet mercy, they are delish! What is neat about the recipe is that they are very specific in their directions which is kind of nice sometimes. I decided to try out following the recipe and using ALL THE BUTTER it recommended, since that is what my sister-in-law did.  The first batch came out flatter than what I was hoping for so I added more flour to the batter and the other batches came out fantastic! SEE?! Too much butter is no bueno! But seriously, these are delicious cookies so try them.

Kitchen Aide Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

Ingredients:
- 1 Cup granulated sugar
- 1 Cup brown sugar

1. Place softened butter, sugars, eggs, and vanilla in the mixer bowl.
2. Use the flat beater to mix. Mix for 30 seconds on Speed 2. Stop and scrape the bowl. Mix for another 30 seconds on Speed 4. Scrape again.
3. Sift together the baking soda, salt, and flour.

My personal changes:
