Chocolate Chip cookies

Simone Clark

Grandma's chocolate chip cookies were another classic. I remember her giving me the recipe multiple times, I would always lose it. One day she explained to me the “golden ratio” that she used and I've never forgotten the recipe since! Well, except baking time and temp, which I never remember from batch to batch! I usually guesstimate either 325 and 350 and I just start looking at 15 minutes in the oven. This batch was cooked at 325 but I think they would be a bit more golden brown baked at 350. I will try again this weekend and update!

The Easiest Chocolate Chip Cookies Ever

The recipe is simple:

  • 1 part margarine (she said she found butter did not work as well in this recipe)

  • 1 part white sugar

  • 2 parts flour (she successfully substituted gluten free flours in this recipe)

  • Enough chocolate chips to look right. Yes, that was the official measure.

Instructions:

  1. Cream the sugar and margarine

  2. Add the flour and mix until combined

  3. Eyeball the chocolate chips and mix in

  4. Press the dough into a cookie sheet

  5. Bake at 350F for approximately 18-20 minutes

  6. Allow cookies to rest for 30 seconds to a minute

  7. Slice into bars using a butter knife and allow them to cool.

  8. Break them apart and store for later.

These guys freeze well. Make a batch and keep them in the freezer for your next surprise visit!

Mixed texture should be a bit crumbly but not dry

Our pan was too big for a single batch but probably too small for a double batch, just neaten up the edge a bit, those bits are the baske’s testers. We cheated and used parchment paper along the bottom for easy clean up.

Look for browning edges. YMMV as too how long it takes to get there. Very pan/oven/environment sensitive.

Use a butter knife while the cookies are still fresh from the oven to cut into bars. Let them cool a bit and then break apart for eating and storage.

The official Chris Clark approved storage method was to reuse a produce bag. Feel free to improvise
