Bored in quarantine? Have too much time on your hands? Want to make something delicious that you can eat while binge watching your favorite shows? Here is a tasty recipe for some classic chocolate chip cookies! 

Ingredients:

·       2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

·       1 teaspoon of baking soda

·       1 teaspoon of fine salt

·       1 1/2 sticks of unsalted butter (at room temperature)

·       3/4 cup of packed light brown sugar

·       2/3 cup of granulated sugar

·       2 large eggs

·       1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract

·       One 12-ounce bag of semisweet chocolate chips

Directions:

1.     Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Then, line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

2.     In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and one teaspoon of salt.

3.     Beat the butter and both sugars in a large bowl until light and fluffy (should take about four minutes).

4.     Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Then, beat in the vanilla. Add the flour mixture and beat until everything is mixed together.

5.     Stir in the chocolate chips.

6.     Scoop 12 tablespoons of dough and place them about 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets. Roll each tablespoon of dough into a ball.

7.     After placing them in the oven, rotate the cookie sheets on the racks (put the other on top and the other on the bottom). They should bake for approximately 12 to 15 minutes.

8.     After, take the cookies out to cool down. 

These cookies are a definite must-have! Enjoy your time home; stay healthy, stay safe and stay indoors!
