The best CHEWY chocolate chips cookies ever... almost

So, here I am starting my blog -- getting so many ideas out of my head and on to the computer...


Today was cold. So cold that some people recorded temps of -34c!  It was so cold that this morning, walking from the car to work I got an ice cream headache.   Well, Sandy said she got an ice cream headache, I did too, but I took her words...  Thanks Sandy


Back to the cookies, after all this is what the post is about...   


Since it was so cold out today, ski lessons were canceled for the kids.   Which meant they came home on the bus.   No waiting at the ski hill meant I could bake/record my first recipe -->  My favourite CHEWY chocolate chip cookie recipe.

Since these cookies are so yummy I thought I would double the recipe.   Creamed the sugars and butter til they were nice and creamy.

Then I added the eggs, the first one broke but that's ok since they will be mixed.

After all the dry ingredients came the chocolate chips - YUMMY

It was shortly after this picture, actually it was after the cookies were on the pan waiting to go into the oven, that I realized I had only doubled the first 4 ingredients..  GRRR


Back in the bowl everything went to get the rest of the dry stuff in... Back on the pan and into the oven.   They turned into NOT the Best Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie Ever, but a cookie failure.   Matt looked at me and said, "you can not have a cookie failure!" 

 Made me smile, he is my trusty taste tester, always willing to try.

And of course, he is right... there are no cookie failures.

Here is the final product.  Not the chewy cookie it should be but yum yum none the less.
I will try this recipe again and post it again - when I get it right, with the recipe attached.  The moral of the story DO NOT DOUBLE THE RECIPE


OK, so for my first ever baking post, it wasn't the best.  Please bear with me while I figure this all out.   

Here is the recipe
