DO YOU NEED BROWN SUGAR FOR CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. While that heats up, grab a baking tray and line with non-stick baking paper.
• Mix the white granulated sugar and softened butter. We recommend using an electric mixer for this step. Keep mixing until the mixture appears fluffy.
• Add vanilla extract and combine with the mixture. Add an egg and fully combine. Then add the second egg and whisk again.
• Sift all purpose flour into a mixing bowl. Add the baking soda and salt into this dry mixture too.
• Now it is time to combine both mixtures. For the best results, use an electric mixer. Slowly add the dry mixture to the wet. Try not to overwork the mixture as this can have a negative effect on the final outcome of your bake.
• Pour in the chocolate chips and ensure that they are as evenly distributed as possible.
• Scoop out even amounts of the cookie dough and put onto your lined baking tray. Leave a two inch gap between each cookie. This will keep them from baking into one huge cookie!
• Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes.
• Put cookies onto a cooling rack and serve when fully cooled down to room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Cream together the butter and the brown sugar.
• Add the eggs one at a time, then the vanilla.
• Add the dry ingredients until just combines.
• Using a spoon, mix in the chocolate chips.
• This is an optional step -- I usually make the cookie dough a day ahead of time, and leave it in the fridge overnight. I think it helps make the cookies more chewy, which is how I like them! Then when I take them out the next day to bake, sometimes I'll form the balls of dough, and roll them in chopped pecans before putting them in the oven. But these are both totally optional! The cookies are amazing either way!
• Drop spoonfuls of the cookie dough on a greased cookie sheet and bake at 400 for 7-9 minutes. BUT WATCH THEM! A lot of ovens will cook them too fast on the outside, and not enough on the inside. At my boyfriend's house I will bake them at 400 for about 4-5 minutes, then lower the temp to 350 for 4-5 more minutes.
• Let sit on the cookie sheet for about 5 minutes before moving them to a cooling rack. Enjoy!
