Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ever bought cookies from the store. But, it never seemed to satisfy that craving. Well, that's how I felt today. Bought a container of fresh soft baked chocolate chip cookies, at my local supermarket bakery. Unfortunately, I wasn't pleased with the cookies. They weren't as "fresh" as the container claimed. So, how about I bake my own batch of irresistible homemade chocolate chip cookies. First, I had to make a second trip to the grocery store for walnuts and Nestle unsweetened chocolate chips. You'll need the following ingredients:  

• 1 cup butter, softened

• 1 cup white sugar

• 1 cup brown sugar

• 2 eggs

• 2 tablespoons of vanilla extract

• 3 cups all-purpose flour

• 1 teaspoon baking soda

• 2 tablespoons of hot water

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

• 1 cup chopped walnuts

Once, you've manage to obtain the necessary ingredients. LET'S GET STARTED.


First, you will need to preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). 


Now, you'll need to cream together the butter, white sugar, and the brown sugar until smooth. Be sure, not to over mix. Beat the eggs in one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract. 


Dissolve the baking soda in the hot water. And, then add it to the batter along with the salt.


Finally, stir on the flour, chocolate chips, and the walnuts. 


Once, your finish incorporating the ingredients together, you're going to use a spoon to drop large spoonfuls onto an ungreased baking sheet.


Your now going to bake for about 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the edges are nicely browned.
