Late Night Chocolate Chip Cookies!

my daughter has been bugging me to bake cookies for a few days. yesterday we found time to bake some cookies! i used THIS RECIPE from bakerella. ♥ that site! we didn't start these until like 9pm, and it was then i discovered oh sh*t! no chocolate chips. we made a quick trip to the nearby shopper's drug mart, and whipped back home.

my pint-sized baker helped lick off rinse the dishes

i may have had a hand in licking off the spoons too...maybe.

the finished product!

the recipe made 42 deeeeeelish cookies, and i'm sure more if we didn't sample the dough so often!

Here's the recipe, my notes are in pink! =)

Chocolate Chip Cookies

2 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup butter, room temperature
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
2 cups chocolate chips

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• In a medium bowl, mix flour, baking soda and salt with a wire whisk and set aside.
• With a mixer, beat butter and both sugars until well blended.
• Beat in eggs and vanilla.
• Add flour mixture in two additions until combined.
• Stir in 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips.
• Use a mini ice cream scoop {i used a tablespoon} to drop cookie dough on a parchment covered cookie sheet about 2 inches apart.
• Bake for 8-10 minutes.
• Tip: About half way through baking, sprinkle reserved chips on top of cookies. This is just to make them prettier so, some of the chips are seen on top. {i forgot this step!}
• Makes about 4 dozen cookies
