Nothing beats homemade chocolate chip cookies, especially when you’re a child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mrs.CBB and I are cookie lovers, and if it’s homemade, we’ll eat it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her grandma was always baking something in the kitchen as a child. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She’d tried all of her grandma’s chocolate chip recipes, <\/strong>but there was only one that she loved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her grandma (nanny) was born in 1918 and passed at 99, <\/strong>so she knew a thing or two in the kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, we’re making Mrs. CBB’s Grandma’s Homemade Chocolate Chip Cookies<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Homemade Chocolate Chip Cookies From Grandma<\/h2>\n\n\n

Grandma was Mrs. CBB’s kitchen hero, and so was her mother, often baking pies and treats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We got a box of her recipes, written recipes, and cut-outs from magazines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She looked through the box that brought back memories for Mrs. CBB as she remembered the recipe books. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We found a Kellogg’s recipe book, Wok With Yan cookbook, Good Housekeeping Cakes, lots of magazine cut and paste, and written recipes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, what caught my attention was how life was before computers even existed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was no photocopying, email or text, so the recipes she saved are super old. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Homemade Chocolate Chip Cookies For The Holidays<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Luckily, we have all the homemade cookie recipes she typically makes at Christmas<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baking cookies during the holidays was grandma’s way of saying I love you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Money was scarce while Grandma was growing up, and being in the kitchen with her mom was normal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Homemade cooking in the early 1900s was how people ate, as there were no fast-food restaurants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That lifestyle stays with you as the years go on and the world evolves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was still dark outside, but that didn’t stop Mrs. CBB from getting up to see Grandma. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She believes her love for baking started when she would often help make cookies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baking was something Mrs. CBB was interested in because she learned from her grandma. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You would find trays of homemade chocolate chip cookies, walnut cookies, chocolate chip walnut cookies, and gumdrop cookies<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Christmas, her grandma taught her to make pecan snowballs<\/a><\/strong>, chocolate peanut butter balls<\/a><\/strong>, and festive coconut balls<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are easy recipes where Mrs. CBB would help roll balls and set them on a baking tray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grandma would set out cookies to cool around the kitchen and on the dining table in the sunroom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was hard not to eat her grandma’s cookies because they were everywhere on baking day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I laughed when Mrs. CBB told me that because it made me think of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How To Make Homemade Chocolate Chip Cookies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I like all types of cookies, but Mrs. CBB wants a thick cookie filled with goodies such as nuts, raisins, oats, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you make this recipe, you’ll notice they are similar to what I’ve just described and not crunchy and thin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I refrigerated the chocolate chip cookie batter for 20 minutes before scooping them out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Use
Use a melon ball scoop 4 in a row and then press them down.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I used an extra-large baking sheet <\/strong>lined with parchment paper for this recipe<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The goal is never to overbake the sides or bottom of the cookie as the texture changes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even a minute extra in the oven will make a difference, which happened to my first batch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another thing to keep in mind is that everyone has a different oven in their home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Often, this is why I watch when I bake cookies and try not to leave the kitchen, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the timer goes off, I take them out immediately and set them on a cooling rack<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cookies will continue baking if you leave them on the tray you don’t want. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Set the oven temperature to <\/strong>325 degrees and bake the cookies for 8 minutes<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I baked my first batch for 10 minutes,<\/strong> and the bottoms turned out too dark for my liking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Again, you will see above the back of a cookie baked for 10 minutes a little too long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are still delicious, but if you want the perfect chocolate chip cookies, bake them for 8 minutes<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n

This cookie recipe will make approximately 40 cookies, which is fantastic if you need a large amount<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The above photo of homemade chocolate chip cookies is perfectly baked.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve eaten about 8 cookies, so the rest is now in a freezer bag until Christmas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"How
How to make homemade chocolate chip cookies <\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You’ll love that you only need one bowl to make these chocolate chip cookies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ll eliminate them if I don’t waste time with kitchen gadgets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I used a wooden spoon and spatula to incorporate the cookie batter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When making cookies, I often try not to overmix the batter depending on the cookie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also used the mini chocolate chips<\/strong>, which are far better than the regular-sized chocolate chips. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
