Best Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies

For Christmas I received a Kitchen Aid Mixer, so of course I have been trying to use it all I can.  We had family over for New Years and made some appetizers and desserts.  One of the desserts I made in my new Kitchen Aid Mixer is this Big and Soft Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe. 

I am not a huge fan of cookies, like they are my least favorite dessert, unless they are soft.  But I am telling you these are the best cookies I have ever eaten.  They are so soft, full of chocolate and huge!  These are a must try.  I love some soft cookies.

Making the chocolate chip cookies in the kitchenaid makes this recipe super simple.

INGREDIENTS

• 2 c flour
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 3/4 c white sugar
• 3/4 c brown sugar
• 3/4 c melted butter
• 1 egg + 1 egg yolk
• 1 T vanilla extract
• 1 12 oz bag chocolate chips, I use semi sweet or dark

Kitchenaid Mixer Cookie Recipe

Preheat oven to 350°

First, sift together flour and baking soda in a mixing bowl and set aside.

Cream together butter and sugars in your stand mixer.  Do this for like 5 minutes.  This is an important step for incorporating air into the dough.  

Next, add in the vanilla and eggs mix until light and fluffy.  

Add in the dry ingredients a little at a time until mixed in.

Then fold in the chocolate chips.  Lots of chocolate chips!

Refrigerate 10-15 minutes to help the dough firm up.

Scoop out 1/4 cup size scoops, I use an ice cream scoop it makes the cookies all the same size for better baking, and place on a lined baking sheet.  Leave at least 2 inches in between cookies.

Bake for 15 minutes.

Remove the those soft chocolate chip cookies from oven and let cool 10 minutes.

ENJOY!

This recipes makes 11-12 big cookies.

Kitchenaid Chocolate Chip Cookie Storage

Store these soft chocolate chip cookies in an air tight container for up to a week.  But I am sure they will not last that long.  They don’t last one day at my house.
