Chocolate Chip Cookies!

The holiday season is in full swing and for many people it's a time to bake bake bake bake bake! Many ask us about our unique chocolate chip cookies; as a special holiday treat, we thought we would share how we make these delicious treats.


Just a note about our ingredients before we begin...we make a very large batch of cookie dough recipe, which yields us about 300 cookies. So to make things simple, we'll just list the ingredients we use without measurements. This is more to give you ideas and tips when making your own cookies! 


Feel free to follow us on Instagram where we have also placed some step by step pictures with some video as well!

 

Ingredients:

  • Granulated Sugar
  • Brown Sugar
  • Sticks of Margarine
  • Sticks of Unsalted Butter
  •  Eggs
  • Vanilla Extract
  • All Purpose Flour
  • Baking Soda
  • Mini Dark Chocolate Chips

First...

Have a mixing bowl ready (we use a commercial mixer with a beater attachment) - a stand mixer works as well, or you can hand mix...if you're up to it!

Add your granulated sugar and brown sugar in the bowl (note: we used 4lbs of granulated sugar and 1lbs of brown sugar).

Then...

We added sticks of margarine, unsalted butter, eggs and vanilla extract!

 

After

We placed our bowl in our mixer and turned it on medium speed. This is what you get after all these ingredients are incorporated nicely. A yummy mushy buttery blend of awesomeness.


Add...

Some all-purpose flour and baking soda to your mixing bowl.


 Turn on your mixer and have the flour blend with your other ingredients...

After your mix resembles a dough...

Add some dark chocolate chips and turn on your mixer one last time to blend these in.


Once your chocolate chips are mixed in, this is what your dough will look like!


This dough is so good, it's even tempting just to eat it on it's own without baking! If you are into making your own ice cream, think how good it some home-made cookie dough ice cream would taste with this!


After our dough is done we let it rest in the refrigerator for a few minutes. This makes it easier for us to scoop the dough into baking sheets. We use whole baking sheets and get 35 cookies to a sheet.


Place your baking sheet in the oven at 350 F for about 10-15 minutes, until your cookies are golden brown.


Take them out of the oven and let your cookies rest! This is what they look like when they are finished!


What we love about these cookies is that, first, they are not too sweet or over chocolatey. Then they have a little crunch when you first bite into them followed by a chewy soft center. Super delicious! Enjoy!
