Homemade Chocolate Chip Cookies

Blog· Food and Drinks· Tech

Baking is by far one of my favorite things to do. Although I’m not a huge fan of sweets, I love to make them. Don’t get me wrong, I will eat sweets and enjoy every minute of it but I don’t crave them and it’s easy for me to say no to. My husband is the opposite of me, I call him the cookie monster. I’ve never seen anyone love sweets quite like he does. It works out perfectly since I love to make them and he loves to eat them.

My go to recipe when we want a quick sweet fix is homemade chocolate chip cookies. There is something about chocolate chip cookies that warms the soul. It’s also a delicious recipe when made from scratch. We always have the ingredients needed for the recipe so we make them often. Who can say no to homemade cookies?

I recently added a fun new tech item to my kitchen – The KitchenAid® Artisan® Mini Mixer. The iconic KitchenAid® Stand Mixer you know and love, is now 20% smaller and 25% lighter* making it great for smaller kitchens. With a 3.5-Qt bowl to make up to 5 dozen cookies and with over 10 available attachments, make everything from fresh pasta to burgers, veggie noodles and more.

This smaller mixer takes up less counterspace, is lighter in weight so you can easily move it around your kitchen and has the same iconic design and power as our other tilt-head stand mixers. I have the full size mixer too and it’s amazing to see the mini have just as much power than the larger model.
The NEW Artisan Mini Stand Mixer is 20% smaller and 25% lighter, making it the ideal culinary tool for smaller spaces and kitchens. Though mini in size, the NEW Mini Stand Mixer can make up to 5 dozen cookies in it’s 3.5 quart stainless steel bowl. The Artisan Mini Stand Mixer also features 10 mixing speeds and comes with a coated flat beater, dough hook and 6-wire whip.
Let’s get cookin’!

I usually pull my cookies out about a minute early because we like ours more soft than hard. When I pull them out, they almost look like they are still raw but once they sit for a few minutes they harden and become the most delicious soft cookies ever. I’ll sometimes throw in my pecans depending on my mood but either way, they’re so good.

What is your go-to recipe to make when you’re craving something sweet?
