Pillsbury Chocolate Chip Cookies

As you may have noticed, I love baking chocolate chip cookies. They were the first thing I ever baked, so I have a deep attachment to them. Also, these were a request.

This is my last food post for a while--don't get too excited, I've got a couple of good posts about other stuff coming up--and the next post will be mug cake. I'm a little excited to make mug cake, to be honest, because I'm not sure how it'll work out. Otherwise, any food you see will be Holmes Hall cafeteria food. And, frankly, MSU food is amazing.

Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups brown sugar
1 1/4 cups white sugar
1 1/2 cups butter, softened
2 tsp vanilla
3 eggs
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
4 1/4 cups flour
1 to 2 bags chocolate chips

Preheat the oven to 375. Combine the sugars and the butter in a large bowl on medium speed until soft and fluffy.

Add the eggs and the vanilla.

Beat in flour, baking soda, and salt at a low speed. This will take several minutes. I went very slowly, beginning at the edges to decrease the flour cloud above the bowl.

It's a very thick dough, and may need more flour depending on your taste. Since these are going in the mail, I added about 1/2 cup of additional flour to decrease the chances they'll get hard or squished.

Stir in the chocolate chips and rejoice at how yummy the dough looks. Eat more than you should. Then drop teaspoonfuls into a greased cookie sheet and bake for 8 to 10 minutes.

This recipe makes about 6 dozen, but I only got 5 because I couldn't stop eating the dough. I love floury cookie dough, but I don't like thick cookies. It's a little strange, I realize, but that's okay. I know other people will eat them.

So loves, we'll say goodbye temporarily and soon enough I shall return with deliciousness once more. Until then, be on the lookout for some slightly unusual posts. What can I say? I get the weirdest thoughts.

Keep stirring, loves!
