YOUR DOWNFALL: Chocolate Chip Chewies

Essentially a pan-sized cookie with a brownie texture...this recipe is legendary. Fortunately (unfortunately?) my dad has a batch of these going almost every time I come home. We are both afflicted with an addiction of anything cookie-like (you can count my brother in on that too, mr. wookie cookie).

Chocolate Chip Chewies


2 1/4 cups flour

1/2 tsp. baking soda

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter softened

1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1 tsp. salt
2 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla extract
2 cups chocolate chips (add to your liking)
Pinch of cinnamon (optional)

Butter 9x13 inch pan
Preheat oven to 325 degrees
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda; set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the butter with both sugars; beat on medium speed until light and fluffy. Reduce speed to low; add the salt, vanilla, and eggs. Beat until well mixed, about 1 minute. Add flour mixture; mix until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.
Pour into buttered pan.
Bake at 325 for 40-45 minutes. Let cool at least 20 minutes.
EAT.
