Brown sugar can help with making some cookies thick and chewy, but these chocolate chip cookies are still every bit as soft and delicious without using brown sugar.
Ingredients
The ingredients needed to make warm, soft chocolate chip cookies without brown sugar are pretty straight forward.
Flour- all purpose, sifted.
Chocolate chips- dark chocolate or semi sweet, or milk chocolate if you prefer a sweeter, milder chocolate.
Sugar- white, granulated.
Eggs- large.
Butter- salted, completely softened at room temperature.
Instructions
Start by mixing the "wet" ingredients. This consists of the softened butter, sugar, vanilla and eggs.
Mix until combined.
Mix the flour, baking soda and salt in a spare bowl until the baking soda and salt are evenly distributed in the flour.
Add the dry ingredients to the mixed wet ingredients and mix until a thick dough has formed.
Roll 2 inch balls of dough between the palms of your hands and place on a baking sheet two inches apart.
Bake in a 350 degree oven for 10-12 minutes, until edges are set and centers are soft.
Cool the cookies on a cooling rack or plate.
You can store the chocolate chip cookies on a plate, covered with plastic wrap for up to five days.
