This Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe uses less unhealthy ingredients than any other! The best part is, they taste like a million bucks!
So, remember that one time, when someone told you in order to have soft chewy cookies you needed to add pudding mix to to your batter? Yeah, so not true!
What if I told you that you could have the most delicious soft chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies by using less butter and sugar in the batter? Would you believe me?
Well, believe me boys and girls, because its true!
I definitely don’t consider myself a baker by any means, but this Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe is my pride and joy! And definitely my little mans favorite. As soon as he sees that bag of chocolate chips his eyes brighter up and he immediately gets his stool out and pushes it to the counter to help mommy bake.
A “healthier” cookie that still has that soft texture I love. Shut the front door!
If you don’t believe me I dare you to go make these Chocolate Chip Cookies and tell me what you think!
To get started, preheat oven to 375. In a stand mixer, add 11 tablespoons of softened butter, 1/2 cup of white sugar, 1/2 cup of light brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla.
Mix until creamy. Next add 2 eggs, one at a time. Continue to mix until smooth.
In a medium size bowl, add 2 1/4 cups of flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon of baking soda.
Add the flour mixture to the stand mixer in 2 batches. Make sure all the flour is completely combined.
Lastly add one 10-12oz. bag of dark chocolate chips. Scoop batter onto baking sheet {I use a baking silicon mat as well, helps to not brown the bottom of the cookie}.
Bake cookies for 8-10 minutes. Makes about 3 dozen cookies.
