Eat the Whole Batch Chocolate Chip Cookies

Have you ever had a hankering for some warm and gooey chocolate chip cookies BUT you knew if you made a big batch you would be in real trouble to have them in such close proximity.

I found this cookie recipe that is only supposed to make 6, yes, you heard that right, 6 cookies.

I tried the recipe and yup- it made 6 delicious chocolate chip cookies. I thought you might like the recipe.

Preheat oven to 350*

First, you start with 3 Tablespoons of soft, salted butter.  

Add 3 Tablespoons brown sugar and 1 1/2 Tablespoon granulated sugar

Mix everything together with a spoon.  No need to make a mess with the stand mixer-or even a hand mixer for that matter.  The spoon works great.

Add 1 egg yolk (save that white for something else) and 1/2 tsp vanilla.  Stir it all up together!

Add in 1/2 cup flour, 1/2 tsp cornstarch, and 1/4 tsp baking soda.  I mixed the dry ingredients in a separate bowl just to make sure the cornstarch and soda were mixed in well.

Add 6 Tablespoons chocolate chips and stir them to incorporate.  You are now ready for the magic.

Roll the dough into 6 balls.  I made 9 because I'm taking 4 to bowling tomorrow.  Did you know that I bowl?  Yes!  I'm on a bowling league with friends that I have known for over 60 years. (Sorry, that really dates me-I'm old!) The problem is that when we get to our third game, we're a little out of steam, so I thought if we had a little sugar, it might ramp us up for that third game.  So, tomorrow, cookies after game two. We'll see if my madness works.

Sorry about the squirrel.  Roll the dough into 6 or 9 balls and put them in the freezer for 5 minutes.  This is important because you don't want them to spread flat all over your cookie sheet.

After 5 minutes, put them on a cookie sheet and place in your oven.  Bake for 9-10 minutes or until they are golden on top but not over baked.  I actually baked these for 11 minutes.

Cool on the cookie sheet for a minute and then move to a rack.  If you like them warm they are perfectly crunchy on the bottom, soft in the middle and so full of melted divine chocolate.

So that's my story about the 6 chocolate chip cookies and how you can eat the whole batch if you want to.

Enjoy
