Day #9 - Triple Chocolate Chip Cookies

We'd like to take a moment to thank you all for hanging in there with us and our crazy schedules.  This week the entire Kirk household goes on Christmas break and will be baking up a storm so get ready for a tidal wave of yummy goodness!

This wave will begin with one of my favorites, the quintessential chocolate chip cookie....but this one has not 1 kind of chip, but 3.  Triple the goodness!

Meet our Triple Chocolate Chip Cookies!

                                                       Recipe:

1 Cup unsalted butter
1/2 Cup sugar
1/2 Cup packed brown sugar
2 Eggs
1 1/2 Cups of Semi sweet, dark, and white chocolate chips mixed
1 Tsp Baking soda
1 Tsp Salt

1 Tsp Vanilla

2 Cups flour

-Preheat your oven to 375*

-Cream together butter, sugars, eggs, baking soda, salt and vanilla. (To cream is basically to use a hand mixer and get all ingredients mixed together in a smooth "cream like" fashion.  Mine didnt look exactly "creamy" but that didnt effect the taste!)

-Mix in remaining ingredients.

-Drop mixture onto cookie sheet by teaspoonfuls, 2 inches apart. (I used a nifty cookie scoop that worked perfectly.  I recommend it!)

- The recipe says to bake for 12-15 mins but I recommend baking only for 10 mins if you like a softer consistency to your chocolate chip cookie.  If you like them crunchy then go for the extra time.

-NOTE: The 3 different chips are mixed together to add up to 1 1/2 cups... do not use 1 1/2 cups of EACH chip....otherwise you'll have a hott mess. :)
