Before marrying David I did not know how to bake. at all.
I had tried baking cookies, brownies, and cakes, but it never seemed to cook right the first time.
Well guess who's the baking champ now? :)
I wanted to surprise David with some chocolate chip cookies the other day, so while he was working on our truck, I was working hard in the kitchen.
First, cream the butter, white sugar, brown sugar together.
Next, beat one egg at a time into the mixture (Use two eggs)
At this point, I got a little bit messy and forgot to mix the cocoa powder and the flour together first...but it turned out fine so I don't think it matters a whole lot.
Add flour, cocoa powder, salt and vanilla in to the mixture.
Dissolve the baking soda into hot water and pour it on in!
My secret ingredient! I didn't have enough chocolate chips, so I decided to add some Japanese caramels! Hollah to my mama for sending them to us!
If you haven't tried these caramels, you should give it a shot :)
Chop up the caramel and throw them in!
Is your mouth watering now?
Because it should be.
This made 36 cookies. I made them five days ago, and we still have about half left.
I guess next time I should half the recipe... :)
