Chocolate Chip Cookies

Today we are going to be making the classic chocolate chip cookie!
Two things I always recommend before starting a recipe are measuring out all of the ingredients, and preheating your oven. Measuring out your ingredients makes it easier to make your recipe, and since the ingredients are pre-measured, you are not scrambling around measuring your ingredients while making a recipe. Preheating the oven is a good thing to do because baking is a science. Most recipes need to be baked immediately so that the right chemical reactions can happen. For instance, pancakes need to be cooked immediately. Cakes as well, should usually be baked immediately. So always make sure to preheat your oven beforehand.

Another thing (which I really need to do as well) is taking out your butter making the dough a little before you make the cookies. I always forget, so I usually end up softening the butter in the microwave for 10-15 seconds or so.

Find the video of me making these cookies below! Here is the recipe for the cookies:

Chocolate Chip Cookies

3/4 cup (96g) white sugar
3/4 cup (96g) packed brown sugar
1 cup (227g) stick butter, softened
1 large egg
2 1/4 cups (288g) all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
2 cups (256g) or 12 oz. milk or dark chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 375 °F. Mix sugars, butter, and egg in a large bowl. Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir in chocolate chips. Make small balls of dough and place them on an un-greased cookie sheet and bake for 10 minutes, or until light brown. Let the cookies cool for 2 minutes or so on the cookie sheet, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!!

Triple Chip Cookies

Today I made triple chip cookies - white chocolate, dark chocolate and milk chocolate chips. First, preheat your oven to 375 F. The list of ingredients are: 2 1/4 cup flour 1 tsp. Baking soda 1 tsp. salt 1 cup softened butter 3/4 cup white sugar 3/4 cup Brown sugar 1 tsp. vanilla extract 2 large eggs 1 3/4 cup chocolate chips (or whole 11.5 oz. bag) In a small bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda and salt. In a larger bowl cream the butter, the two sugars, and the vanilla extract together. Add the eggs, the stir the flour mixture in and add the chocolate chips. The dough gets slightly thick, do you may have to use your hands to finish mixing the dough. Form the cookie dough into small to medium sized balls. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 10-15 minutes depending on your oven. Place onto a cooling rack to set and cool. Let them cool for 5 minutes or so. Then, enjoy! - The Junior Baker

Winter Cupcakes

Happy New Year! I made some chocolate cupcakes and used a snowflake topper and winter sprinkles I got at Michaels. I used Duncan Hines chocolate cake mix and used Duncan Hines whipped vanilla icing and whipped chocolate icing. So first, follow the instructions on the back of the cake box. I added another egg and used milk instead of water to make the cupcakes richer and denser. Bake it in the oven according to the back of the box. I used one box, which typically makes 24 cupcakes. To decorate the cupcakes you will need a can of Duncan Hines whipped chocolate icing, a can of Duncan Hines whipped vanilla icing, 1-2 piping bags, a large star decorating tip, snowflake treat toppers, and Wilton's winter sprinkle mix. You will also need a large circle cake board ( I think I used either a 10 inch or a 12 inch) and a wine glass for the display I used. First, using the large star tip, fill a piping bag with white icing. The reason why I said you ...

S'mores Brownies

Who here likes s'mores? If you are raising your hand, these brownies are for you! They are a delicious combination of s'mores and brownies, and are so rich and tasty! These brownies are a great treat to make during the summer. To start, chop the Hershey chocolate bars into chunks. Next, crush the graham crackers into some larger bits. Don't crush them finely, because want a good variety of large and small pieces to make good texture for our topping. Next, make two boxes of brownie mix according to the instructions on the back of the box. Bake them according to the back of the box, because baking times vary. Once the brownies are baked, sprinkle the s'more topping and place the brownies in the oven again so the topping can melt. S'more brownies: super tasty, rich and easy-to-make. Get the full recipe and video below. S'more Brownies 2 boxes of brownie mix, prepared 10-12 Hershey bars, chopped 6-7 graham crakers, crushed into la...
