Cookie Recipes

Now you can make your own homemade cookies. I don't know about the rest of you but I feel a great sense of accomplishment and pride after making cookies. It's an even better feeling when I make them from scratch.

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup sugar
• 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 cup butter
• 1 large egg
• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
• if desired, 1 cup chopped pecans

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Mix sugar, brown sugar, butter and egg in a large bowl by hand. Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt. The dough will be very stiff. Stir in chocolate chips. Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until light brown. The centers will be soft. Let cool for one minute then remove from cookie sheet and place on wire rack to finish cooling.

    Well I've been meaning to comment on this for a while, im just a little lazy. I'm a rather avid baker (in fact I just baked a batch of peanut butter cookies yesterday!) Something random and interesting I learned along the way, if you decrease the white sugar and increase your brown sugar you actually get a softer cookie! They also don't rise as much, but theyll stay soft even if you accidently leave them out uncovered :)
