The original Chococlate Chip Cookie



My frozen cookie dough started with the following recipe. It was a recipe I got from my Mom and it has become my favorite! I do a few different things to it, but it is the only cookie I need!

Chocolate Chip Cookies
2 cups Butter
2 cups granulated sugar
2 cups brown sugar
4 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
4 cups flour
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp kosher salt
5 cups ground oatmeal
1 bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 bag of milk chocolate chips
Optional
2 bags of toffee bits
2 cups coconut
Butterscotch Chips
Peanut Butter Chips
Any way you make these cookies they always turn out delicious!
Lately I have been having them like this!

Happy Cookie Baking!

The Scoop


Mixing, stirring, measuring, egg cracking, baking and for me scooping! Usually when I make my batches there is only a slight amount of baking when they are finished then the rest are scooped out and frozen away to delight me on another day! Oh the joys of freezing cookie dough! My children rarely eat an actual baked cookie, it is usually right out of the freezer bag and it is now affectionately called Cook Dough! Well, if you want to scoop quickly and have your cookies be even then this is the scoop for you! I have used several brands and my favorite one is the $7 Chefmate that I got at Target! Of course they have all different sizes, but my favorite is the 1 inch scoop! So here's to happy scooping!
