One of my favorite treats is a warm chocolate chip cookie right out of the oven. The chocolate chips are all melted and gooey. Pair that with a tall glass of milk and you have a fabulous treat.

My daughter is getting to quite the fan of helping me bake in the kitchen. She loves to dump the ingredients after I have measured them out. I think her absolute favorite thing though is to taste test along the way. You probably do not need this recipe as it is on the package of Toll House Chocolate Chips, but just in case here it is:

•2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
•1 teaspoon baking soda
•1 teaspoon salt
•1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
•3/4 cup granulated sugar
•3/4 cup packed brown sugar
•1 teaspoon vanilla extract
•2 large eggs
•2 cups (12-oz. pkg.) NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels
•1 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Preheat the oven to 375° F. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt in small bowl. Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract in large mixer bowl until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in morsels and nuts. Drop by rounded tablespoon onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.

Depending on the age of your child they should be able to help measure and mix the ingredients and scoop the dough to place on the cookie sheet. It can also be fun to watch as the cookies bake in the oven, watching them go from rounded lumps to flat cookies. They will definitely enjoy eating them.

What is your favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe? Do you add anything different to yours? I’ve also had them with a mixture of white and chocolate chips and those are really good too.

Warmly,
