Maha's Best Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350 degrees

2. 2

   Soften Butter

   Soften the butter by your chosen method. A pan on the stove on medium low works best. If you're in a hurry a microwave works too. You want the butter to be soft all the way through and slightly melted.

3. 3

   Cream the Wet Ingredients

   Add the softened butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and eggs to an electric stand mixer and mix on medium low speed until you have a light creamy consistency. I find it easiest to just leave it mixing while you mix the dry ingredients.

4. 4

   Mix the Dry Ingredients

   Add the flour, cinnamon, salt, and baking soda to a separate mixing bowl. Whisk ingredients together.

5. 5

   Add Dry Ingredients to Wet Ingredients

   A little at a time, add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients. Leave the electric mixer on a slow mix setting to incorporate the dry ingredients as they get added.

6. 6

   Add Chocolate Chips

   Either with the mixer on slow speed, or folding in by hand, add the chocolate chips to the cookie dough.

7. 7

   Bake the Cookies

   Add 2tbsp (standard cookie scoop) balls of cookie dough to a baking sheet. Bake between 11-13 minutes. You'll know the cookies are done when the bottom edge of the cookie looks set and has a nice light golden brown color.
