When it comes to baking, few things are as comforting as a batch of warm chocolate chip cookies. But for those of us living at high altitudes, achieving that perfect cookie can be a bit of a challenge. Here’s a delightful recipe to make sure your cookies come out just right, even when you’re baking at a higher elevation.
High Altitude Chocolate Chip Cookies
These high altitude chocolate chip cookies are soft, chewy, and packed with delicious chocolate chunks. With a few simple adjustments, you can enjoy the classic comfort of chocolate chip cookies, no matter how high up you are!
### Ingredients:
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and salt until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Beat in the vanilla extract and eggs one at a time, making sure each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- Gradually blend in the flour mixture until just combined.
- Stir in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, ensuring there’s enough space between each cookie to allow for spread.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The centers may look slightly underbaked; they will continue to cook as they cool on the baking sheet.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
Enjoy these high altitude chocolate chip cookies warm from the oven or store them in an airtight container for a delicious treat throughout the week!
