Hi, How is your day going? First let me say thank you for spending your precious time with me. Believe me I “get it” when you have a few minutes of time to yourself, sometimes there is just nothing better than “vegging” out on the web. And you picked a great day to stop in…. I mean after you see how yummy these Chocolate Chip cookies look and how simple they are to make… Your day is going to get better. Y’all will be mixing up a batch just to keep for yourself. (NO judgment here!)
Now y’all will notice that I also added in some M&M’s …not necessary but highly recommended! And you can add what ever type of M&M’s you want….dark chocolate, almond, peanut butter, caramel the list goes on and on. (Side note tip: go buy the M&M’s after the holiday sales, and stick them in the freezer. The are actually cheaper than a bag of chocolate chips!)
Okay so now onto how soft and chewy these chocolate chip loaded cookies are…YUM! And they stay soft in a plastic covered container for days! These are perfect for lunch boxes, gift bags or your secret hidden stash. 😉
CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
1 Cup Butter, softened
1 Cup Brown Sugar
1 Cup Sugar
2 Egg’s
1 Tablespoon Vanilla
1 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
3 1/2 Cups All Purpose Flour
12 oz. Bag Milk Chocolate Chips
*Optional- 1 Cup M&M’s
Preheat oven to 350 degree’s.
In a mixing bowl cream together the butter and sugars until light and smooth. Add in eggs and vanilla, beat for 1 minute. Sift the salt, baking soda and flour directly into the creamed mixture. Dough will be soft and not sticky. Stir in chocolate chips and M&M’s.
Scoop dough onto a parchment lined baking sheet that has been lightly greased with a nonstick baking spray. Bake on the center rack in the oven for 10 minutes. Let cookies cool for 1 minute on the pan before transferring onto a cooling rack.
See your day is looking better and better isn’t it? Now pat yourself on the back…you’re doing just fine.
Nothing better than to end your day with a warm homemade Chocolate Chip Cookie!
