I can never decide which way tastes best with chocolate chip cookies - fresh from the oven so the chocolate chips can drip down your chin or cold with that chocolate bite. Personally, I don't turn down either version!
Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup firmly packed, dark brown sugar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
Grated zest of one orange
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 ½ cups semisweet chocolate chips
1 ½ cup milk chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Whip the butter and sugars until creamy. Beat in the eggs, vanilla, and orange zest until well-blended. Add flour and baking soda until well-mixed. Stir in chocolate chips.
Drop by rounded tablespoons onto ungreased baking sheets, about two inches apart. Bake for eight to ten minutes or until edges are golden brown. Don’t over bake! Makes about 4 dozen cookies. Especially good, hot and gooey out of the oven!
Ideas . . .
Substitute some of the chocolate chips for mint chocolate chips.
Use half milk chocolate chips and half peanut butter chips.
Add a half cup chopped pecans and go all white chocolate chips.
Add a half cup of toffee bits to the original recipe.
One-half cup raisins or dried cranberries aren't against the law.
