How to make Bill’s Chocolate Chip Cookies
Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 325 degrees F.
Step 2: Combine the melted butter and sugar. Then, add the vanilla along with the eggs and mix well until blended.
Step 3: Place the flour, soda, and salt in another bowl. Stir this into the butter-sugar mixture. Then, fold in the chocolate chips.
For thinner cookies:
If using the dough right away, portion the dough in scant 1/3 c measures. Shape the dough gently into a ball and put it on a cookie sheet. Make sure the cookies are about 4 1/2 inches across.
You can tear the balls of dough in half and place half on top of the other, torn edge facing upward. Into a round shape, gently reshape the bottom portion back. This step is optional but highly recommended.
Place in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 11 to 12 minutes or until the edges are firm. Take the cookies out of the oven and let them cool on the cookie sheet. The cookies will be soft and chewy.
Or bake for 3 to 4 minutes longer for crispier cookies until the tops are golden brown. Take the cookies out of the oven. As soon as the cookies are cool enough to handle, remove them from the cookie sheet.
For thicker cookies:
You can portion the dough and place the raw cookies in the fridge for at least 2 hours or overnight before baking.
Take the dough out of the fridge and tear the balls of dough in half. Place half on top of the other, torn edges facing upward. Then, reshape the portion back gently into a round.
Bake the cookie dough for approximately 12 to 13 minutes or until the edges are firm. Take them out of the oven and allow the cookies to sit on the cookie sheet until cool. This will give you soft and chewy cookies.
Or bake for 3 to 4 minutes more for crispier cookies until the tops are golden brown. Once the cookies are cool enough to handle, remove them from the cookie sheet.
