Mom's chocolate chip cake cookies

My mom has been in the hospital the past few day's so I thought I'd start my blog with a great recipe that she has shared with my sister and I!! Everyone LOVES these cookies,but she only makes them during Christmas. I've begun making them throughout the year for her and for family and pretty much anyone who will eat them they are THAT good. Who doesn't love a good chocolate chip cookie recipe!

 

1. Preheat oven 375 degrees
2. Combine flour,baking soda,and salt in a small bowl.
3. Beat butter,granulated sugar,brown sugar and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl until creamy.
4. Add eggs, one at a time,beating them well after each addition.
5. Gradually beat in flour mixture.
6. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts (if you want nuts in yours add them I did not add any)   

 The key to making them cake like is to spread them out evenly all over your pan till its covered and to where its touching the edges all the way around.

 

If you want them to be thicker just don't spread them as thin there pretty thick the way that we do them though.

Then set your timer for 10 minutes

I always set it for 10 minutes then watch it for the next five checking on them occasionally. You want them to be golden brown on the top all over,this part I usually have to call my mom and ask what color golden brown because I always forget haha.

 Since you can't just pick up the phone and call me, although you could I would so answer and chat with you I'm sorda a chatty Cathy haha. Anyways this is the golden brown color you don't want them much darker because they will continue cooking once you take them out. Let them cool for however long you can stand with me its usually five or 6 minutes then take a big pizza cutter and cut them in squares you can make the squares as big or as small as you want. Then take a spatula and scoop em off!

There so thick and gooey and amazingly yummy warm with a cold glass of milk during the winter and holidays I feel like I'm making them everyday twice a day because they get eaten so fast. I love love to bake and this is a great recipe. If you get them wrong on the first try don't worry! My first try I did not add the baking soda WORST COOKIES EVER. My boyfriend being the sweet guy that he is still wanted to eat them,but i was like NO I will make more haha.
