William’s-Sonoma Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies
A party game for horrible people!
This past weekend, Duane and I got together with a group of friends for a BBQ and game night. Duane and I recently ordered a game called Cards Against Humanity and I have been “patiently” waiting to play. If you haven’t heard of it, think the adult version of “Apples to Apples”, it is the BEST game we have ever played…a party game for horrible people, HA! Seriously, if you haven’t heard of it, check it out. What is funny is that I love games but I am terrible at them, even worse, I am a terrible loser. Just to show how fun of a game this is,.. I was laughing so hard I didn’t even care that I hadn’t won a round until almost half way through the game. That says something.
My friend had requested I make cookies, so I chose these Williams-Sonoma Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies. I made these a few weeks ago, but we ate them so fast I never got to take pictures. Which was almost the case this time around. I found a picture of these cookies on Pinterest which brought me to the Williams-Sonoma website; www.Williams-Sonoma.com. These are both mine and Duane’s new favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe. I know you can go back and look at every chocolate chip cookie recipe I’ve posted and I say the same thing in each one, but I mean it this time. I can’t think of anything I would want different about them; they truly are the ‘perfect chocolate chip cookies’.
Williams-Sonoma Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients:
- 1 1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar (original recipe uses light brown sugar)
- 6 Tbs granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer or standing mixer; on medium speed, cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth, about 2 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and mix on low speed until blended.
- Slowly add the flour mixture and mix just until incorporated. Switch to a wooden spoon and stir in the chocolate chips.
- Using a tablespoon, drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing the dough mounds 2 inches (5 cm) apart.
- Bake the cookies, until the bottoms and edges are lightly browned and the tops feel firm when lightly touched, 10-13 minutes.
- Allow the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer the cookies to wire racks to cool completely.
