The Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookie



     I have finally discovered a recipe for the perfect chocolate chip cookie. It is crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. The recipe makes 4 dozen cookies, but since that is way too much for my husband and I to eat, I split the ingredients into fourths and made a dozen cookies. This was just the ideal amount to satisfy our sweet tooths tonight!

Ingredients:
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda mixed with 1/2 teaspoon hot water
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips

To begin, preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Mix together the white sugar, unsalted butter, and brown sugar. 
Then add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix again. 
Combine the baking soda with hot water in a separate dish and add to the mixture. 
Next, incorporate the salt and flour.
Finally, add the chocolate chips!
Use a tablespoon to spoon the dough onto a greased cookie sheet.

Place in the oven for 10 minutes, and that should be enough to perfectly bake the cookies.
