How to cook deliciously - Joanna Gaines' Chocolate Chip Cookies

1 . Stage

Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2 . Stage

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

3 . Stage

In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or in a large bowl with a handheld electric mixer), beat the butter and sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the eggs and beat until blended. Add the vanilla and beat until blended.

4 . Stage

Turn the mixer off and add the flour mixture to the bowl. Mix on medium just until the flour is mixed in, then turn the mixer to high speed for a few seconds to pull the dough together; it will be chunky.

5 . Stage

Add the chocolate chips and beat on high for about 5 seconds to thoroughly and quickly mix in the chips.

6 . Stage

Drop by large spoonfuls on the lined baking sheet; don’t flatten them. Bake until lightly browned on top, 10 to 11 minutes. Cool on the pan on a rack for 1 minute, then transfer the cookies to the rack to cool completely. Repeat with the remaining dough.

7 . Stage

Store the cookies in a tightly covered container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
