BA’s Chocolate Chip Cookies

because sometimes you need to watch a bad rom-com and bake cookies

  • 1½cups (200 g) all-purpose flour
  • just a sprinkle of kosher salt… or however much pours into your hand when you’re trying to get a teaspoon ish but you feel guilty about wasting food so you just put it all in anyways
  • ¾tsp. (4 g) baking soda
  • ¾cup unsalted butter, divided
  • 1cup (200 g) (packed) dark brown sugar
  • ¼cup (50 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg / 1 egg yolk
  • vanilla extract / splash almond extract
  • bittersweet chocolate chips
  1. preheat over to 375 although lets be honest this will be the last step because preheating this early seems whack and you gotta chill the cookie dough for a second anyways so…
  2. mix dry ingredients in one bowl
  3. melt 1/2 cup butter in sauce pan or whatever pan that Haley actually cleaned and put away… do this over medium heat until the butter foams and browns … or until it looks kinda weird and separated but you have to say f**k it and put the sugar in after 7 or so minutes??
  4. add brown and white sugar and remaining butter
  5. take off of heat and cool for a second (approximately 1 minute because i am impatient)
  6. add in eggs and hope to god you don’t get scrambled eggs in your cookie batter bc the butter/sugar mixture is too hot (*likely why the butter and sugar need to cool for longer than 1 minute)
  7. bloop in vanilla and almond extract
  8. pour in dry ingredients and whisk (ok actually use a whisk bc the wooden spoon did not cut it :/ )
  9. add in chocolate chips that you found in back of baking cupboard thank GOD
  10. put mixture in fridge and ACTUALLY go to preheat oven…
  11. bake for 8 ish minutes? and/or however long it takes to finish the glass of wine you were drinking and kinda sorta forgot when you actually put the cookies in the oven
  12. give said cookies to housemate
