Token Chocolate Chip Cookies



So, not all of my recipes are "Slender".  Sometimes, you just need to bake using traditional ingredients.  This is my go-to chocolate cookie recipe that Scotty's mom gave me.  I have modified it a bit for convenience and added flaxseed for fun. I hope you enjoy these as much as my friends and family do.  

They are simple - so so so simple.  AND, the best part is that they keep really well in the freezer.  Whenever I have guests coming over, or need to give someone a thank you (but don't have time to bake) I just pulled these bad boys out of the freezer - perfecto!

Yields 26 servings at about 1 tablespoon of dough each.

Ingredients:

  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • ½ cup unpacked brown sugar
  • ¼ cup white sugar
  • Vanilla
  • Cinnamon
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 ½ cups unbleached flour
  • 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
  • ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • Dash of salt


Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Mix melted butter with sugars, vanilla, and cinnamon.
  3. Add egg and mix until mixture resembles a “glossy” finish.
  4. Add flour, flaxseed, chocolate chips, baking soda, and salt all at the same time.
  5. Mix until just combined (do not over mix).
  6. Bake cookies 9 – 11 minutes depending on your preference of crunchiness / chewiness.
  7. You can keep them in the freezer for a rainy day or for your next dinner party.  I recommend rolling the balls before freezing.  Just give them a bit of time to thaw before baking.  Also, you can bake them and then put them in the freezer.
