Special Cookies

Ingredients

• ¾ cup butter

• 2 large eggs

• 1 cup packed dark brown sugar

• ½ cup white sugar

• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

• 2¼ cups all-purpose flour

• ¾ teaspoon baking soda

• ½ teaspoon fine salt

• semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees (turn on the convection setting if the oven has it).

2. Next, Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper. If only one baking sheet is available, let it cool down completely before using it for the second batch of cookies.

3. In a small saucepan, melt the butter and then allow it to cool down slightly.

4. Place the eggs, sugars and vanilla in a medium bowl, add the melted butter and whisk until the contents are smooth

5. Then, in a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda and salt. Once the dry ingredients are incorporated, slowly stir the first bowl of wet ingredient in with the dry. Do not over mix.

6. Fold in the chocolate chips and the other optional ingredients, if using.

7. Scoop out about 30g of cookie dough for each cookie and drop onto the prepared pans. Ensure there are about 2 to 3 inches between each cookie.

8. Cookies can be frozen at this point if desired. Freeze first, then freezer seal for long term storage. Cookies can be baked quickly even if frozen.

9. Bake cookies for 12 to 16 minutes. Cookies baked for shorter periods of time will be chewier while cookies baked longer will be crunchier. Wait for the pan to cool for a few minutes before you transfer the cookies to a rack for cooling.
