Totally (Organic) BEST Chocolate Chip Cookies


Really Easy
Really Delicious


1 stick Sweet cream, unsalted butter, softened (VERY important that it is UNsalted!)

1/4 c. of Organic Unbleached White Sugar (plus some for sprinkling on top!)

3/4 c. packed Dark Brown Sugar.

1 Free Range and Organic egg

1 tsp. of Vanilla Paste (its about $5, TOTALLY worth it because you can see all the delicious Vanilla specks, I think its a really lovely touch to any cake or cookie.)

1 1/4 c. of Unbleached Organic Flour

1 tsp. of Organic Medium Course Sea Salt (this gives it a delicious taste AND texture to the cookie. It is my favorite secret weapon)

1/2 tsp. Organic Baking Soda

3/4 tsp. Red Mill Organic Baking Powder

1 c. Ghiradelli Milk Chocolate Chips

1 c. Ghiradelli 60% Cacao Chips (the mixture of the two chips is essential to having the flavor of the dark chocolate and the sweetness of the milk chocolate... makes for the ULTIMATE cookie!)


directions&tips:

Set oven to 360 convect bake! Cream butter, sugar, and brown sugar in your mixer for 3 minutes exactly! (Makes the batter PERFECTLY fluffy...this is a secret cookie baking weapon!)Scrape bowl. Add egg and vanilla and beat for another 2 minutes. Scrape bowl. Mix in baking soda, powder, salt and flour and combine slowly until it is entirely mixed! Add in the mixture of chocolate chips and mix for just a couple of seconds, until chocolate is evenly distributed in the batter.

On a lined baking sheet scoop 2 tablespoon servings. Bake for 14 minutes and allow 10 minutes to cool before serving. Have a glass of your favorite beverage ready for dipping! (Mine's almond milk!)

P.S. these cookies would be the ultimate ice cream sandwich cookie! :)
