Just recently Cassie's grandma celebrated her 81st birthday. As a way to celebrate and to give a gift to the woman who has everything we decided to make a batch of chocolate chip cookies. Grandma has always been crystal clear that she LOVES cookies and that chocolate chip is her absolute favorite cookie. The choice was an easy one and the morning before her birthday celebration we went to work crafting some extra special cookies just for her. Cassie even hand made the box that they are in. If you are interested in learning how to make a gift box yourself check out her craft blog.
We found this recipe from another blog and it looked too good to not try. The results were fantastic. They will definitely be our go to chocolate chip cookie recipe from now on. The cookies were soft and chewy and really packed with chocolatey goodness.
Chocolate Chip Cookies
Adapted from Baking Illustrated found via Annie's Eats
2 cups plus 2 tbsp. whole wheat pastry flour
½ tsp. baking soda
½ tsp. salt
12 tbsp. unsalted butter, melted and cooled until warm
1 cup brown sucanat
½ cup evaporated cane juice
1 large egg plus 1 egg yolk
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup organic dark chocolate chips
1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
2) In a medium bowl whisk together the pastry flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. Combine butter, sucanat and the evaporated cane juice using a mixer until well combined. Add the egg, yolk and the vanilla until the batter is well combined. Using a large spoon mix in the chocolate chips by hand until they are evenly dispersed on through the cookie dough.
3) Take 2 T. of dough and place in a rounded mound on the prepared cookie sheets. Let cookies bake in the oven for 11-14 minutes until they start to harden at the edges, but are not yet hard in the center. Let cookies cool on the sheet until they can be lifted without falling apart and then transfer them to a wire rack to finish cooling.
