Happy Father's Day + Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookies

Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookies

What is it about a man and a cookie anyway? Somehow, a delicious chocolate chip cookie recipe seemed just right for all those #1 Dad’s ! With the help of the Magnolia Table Cookbook, we baked up these deliciously soft, chewy, and extra chocolatey cookies. I now have a new go to recipe. Some of the secret herewith these is: they use only brown sugar and a good amount of butter. Next time, I am going to give them a try with oatmeal.

Be sure to celebrate with Dad today and share some homemade goodness together 🙂

Happy Father’s Day!

To all of the wonderful Father’s out there – this is a day to remember and appreciate Dad and all of the love and effort he puts in to making the cogs continue to turn for the family. Thank you, Dad!

Recipe type: dessert

Prep time: 15 mins

Cook time: 10 mins

Total time: 25 mins

Serves: 36 cookies

Ingredients

2½ c. all-purpose flour
1 t. baking soda
½ t. sea salt
8 T. (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 c. light brown sugar
2 eggs
1½ t. vanilla extra
1½ c. semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat sugar and butter on medium-high speed until light and fluffy - approx. 2-3 minutes. Add the eggs and beat until blended. Add vanilla. Beat until blended.
Turn off mixer, and add flour mixture to the bowl. Mix on medium speed until the flour is just mixed in, then turn mixer to high speed for a few seconds to pull the dough together; it will be chunky.
Add the chocolate chips and beat on high for just a few seconds to thoroughly mix the chips.
Drop by large spoonfuls on the lined baking sheet. Bake until lightly browned on top - 10 to 11 minutes. Cool on the pan on a rack for 1 minute, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely. Store cookies for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
