The Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies

_The pleasure lies not in the cookies, but in the pattern the crumbs make when the cookies crumble. - Michael Korda_ Let me guess... You like cookies? Right?

If I'm right then this might be the perfect post for you! For my first blog-post (ever) I'll be sharing my absolute favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe. This is a very easy but delicious recipe that you can whip up in jiffy. This recipe makes roughly 50 soft and chewy chocolate cookies.

**Ingredients:** 2 + 1/3 cups all-purpose flour 3/4 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon kosher salt 5 ounces (140 grams) 70 percent chocolate, cut into small chunks 5 ounces (140 grams) milk chocolate, cut into small chunks 1/2 pound (225 grams) cold unsalted butter, cut into small blocks or strips. 1 cup dark brown sugar 3/4 cup granulated brown sugar 1/3 cup cashew nuts

**Instructions:**

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F / 180°C. Line two baking trays with parchment paper.

2. Sift the flour and baking soda into a bowl. Stir in the salt.

3. In a bowl use your hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a paddle to beat half the butter on medium speed until fairly smooth. Add both sugars and the remaining butter, and beat until well combined, and the mixture is light and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.

4. Add the eggs one at a time, beating until the first one is incorporated before adding the next.

5. Add the dry ingredients and mix on low speed to combine.

6. Put the chocolate and chopped cashew nuts in a sieve to remove the powder and small fragments. Mix in the chocolate and nuts until evenly incorporated.

7. Cover the bowl with cling wrap and place it in the fridge for a hour.

8. Shape balls with the dough by taking one tablespoon at a time and shaping it with your hands! Arrange eight cookies on each pan, leaving space between them, because the dough will spread.

9. Bake for twelve minutes, or until the tops are no longer shiny, switching the position and rotating pans halfway through baking.

10. Cool cookies on the pans for about two minutes before moving them to cooling racks to cool completely.

11. The cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to three days.
