The Best Soft and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

Today out of the blue, my little babies craving chocolate chip cookies.  Instead of buying it from the grocery store, I have decided to make my own batch.  Upon researching for thick, soft and chewy chocolate chip cookies, I saw this recipe from food.com by Marg.  I thought I will give it a try.  .  To my amazement it came out perfectly.  So if you like thick and soft and chewy cookies, give this recipe a go.

My babies had a blast helping out and making a mess, but it was a very easy and fun experiences  I did some adjust to sugar, chocolate chips and adding a bit of sea salt to my liking.

2 ½ cup of all purpose flour

1 cup brown sugar packed

1 teaspoon baking soda

1.       Measure and mix flour, baking soda and salt and set aside.

2.       In another bowl, beat the butter and shortening until creamy.

3.       Slowly add the sugar, vanilla and eggs and beat until blend completely.

4.       Now add the flour a little at a time beating on low and blend well.

5.       Add the chocolate chips and mix well.

6.       Lined your cookies try with baking parchment paper .

7.       Scoop about 2 tablespoon of the dough on the paper and placed it 2 inches apart.
