Cooking web notes

This recipe uses self-rising flour which eliminates the baking soda and baking powder. Please do not confuse regular flour with self-rising flour as they are different. If you are looking for a soft and chewy cookie, this recipe is great.

Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract (I used Watkins Vanilla)
2 cups self-rising flour
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. I lined my cookie sheets with the Tupperware Silicone Wonder Nonstick Baking Mat. If you don't own one, lightly grease your cookie sheets.

In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs and vanilla extract and beat for 3 minutes on medium speed. Stir the flour in until it is well combined into the batter. Stir in the chocolate chips. Drop by the tablespoonfuls onto your prepared cookie sheets. Bake for 12-14 minutes or until lightly browned, but still soft and chewy.
