With the holidays coming, I know there’s going to be TONS of delicious, amazing and unique recipes all over the blogosphere. I’ll be sharing some of those, too! However, sometimes what I really want is Simple Chocolate Chip Cookies! 

There’s just something about having a delicious chocolate chip cookie that really hits the spot. Add some milk, and it’s pure heaven! Remember those days after school, having cookies and milk? I sure do, and still love doing that with my kiddos! Don’t worry, though, I don’t let them have cookies everyday….everything in balance, right?

There’s so many cookies to choose from, in so many combinations it’s insane, but I do love soft, chewy, perfectly-flavored Simple Chocolate Chip Cookies! And really, they can’t get much more simple than this! Serve them up warm and they’re even better, at least in my opinion! I will admit, I don’t give them to my kids very warm too often…because all that melted, fabulous chocolate in the cookies? Ya, that’s a total mess with a 3-year-old sometimes! Momma, on the other hand, deserves to enjoy the gooey-ness, am I right?

Ingredients

• 1 cup Butter, softened
• 3/4 cup Brown Sugar, packed
• 3/4 cup Sugar
• 2 Eggs
• 1 tbsp. Hot Water
• 2 tsp. Vanilla Extract
• 1 tsp. Salt
• 2 1/2 cups Flour
• 1 tsp. Baking Soda
• 2 cups Chocolate chips

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 Degrees F. Spray or line two baking sheets, then set aside.
2. Mix the butter, both sugars and eggs together. Add the hot water, vanilla, and salt until well-combined.
3. Stir in the flour and baking soda until well-mixed, then the chocolate chips. Spoon the dough into 1″ balls and place on baking sheets, gently pressing down to flatten slightly.
4. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until just barely turning brown. Let them cool about 5 minutes on the pan, then remove to a cooling rack. Enjoy every moist, chewy and tasty bite!
