Chocolate chip cookies have magic power

What is it about certain foods that just make you feel better? Comforted? At home?

Tonight the hubby is sick and so I made homemade chicken noodle soup and chocolate chip cookies.

After eating next to nothing all day, he ate nearly a dozen cookies.

And he is feeling MUCH better. I'm telling you, chocolate chip cookies have magic power.

Here's my favorite recipe, straight from the ghiardehlli package.

Ingredients:
1 cup butter
1.5 cups brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp Vanilla extract
2.25 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
.5 tsp salt
2 cups chocolate chips ( I prefer ghiardhelli double chocolate)

Method:
1. Preheat oven to 350•f. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper

2. Beat butter and sugar on high until creamy. Add eggs and vanilla, beat until well mixed.

3. Slowly incorporate flour, baking soda and salt. Mix until just combined and add in chocolate chips.

4. Using 1 inch cookie scoop, scoop out cookies. Bake in preheated oven for 7-8 minutes. Allow to cool on wire rack.

And just know, these will somehow never be as amazing as my moms chocolate chip cookies.
