These are great cookies to make on a rainy or snowy day, and they made the house smell amazing! One good thing about being in quarantine right now is that I have tons of time to bake and have the flexibility to create new and delicious recipes that I’ve never attempted before. Once I mastered the 3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies, I graduated to a slightly more advanced recipe, and these were perfect!
What’s In These Farmhouse Chocolate Chip Cookies?
- All Purpose Flour: I love using King Arthur all purpose flour for all my baking recipes. I found that King Arthur flour has the best taste, texture, and consistency! If you are gluten free, you can easily substitute a 1:1 baking mix!
- Granulated & Brown Sugar: I like this organic sugar for my recipes, it has a really nice texture in these cookies, I’d recommend Anthony’s organic sugar for baking.
- Butter, can be plant based – if you don’t have fresh butter on hand, this butter powder is actually amazing! I’ve baked cookies with it, and I really like having some butter in the pantry in a pinch.
- Vanilla Extract: it’s super important to use real pure vanilla extract, and not artificial baking vanilla flavor. This real all natural vanilla is a fantastic ingredient to give these cookies an #extra boost.
- Water
- Baking Soda: I love keep baking soda in the pantry for baking, and also for cleaning. This baking soda works great for both.
- Apple Cider Vinegar, which may surprise you but it gives the cookies a little extra tang which is really fantastic! I love using this organic apple cider vinegar with the mother which has a great flavor.
- Chocolate Chips: to give these cookies an amazing chocolate chunk! These vegan chocolate chips are a great addition if you want to make these vegan and plant-based.
- Pinch of Salt
These are cookies that everyone in the family will love – they are fun to make and use simple pantry staple ingredients. We just stocked up on a lot of flour (50 lb bag!) so I anticipate making these cookies for the next few months while we are at home. They are such a treat! And since these are made with mostly pantry staple ingredients, you can whip up a batch anytime. These are great rainy day chocolate chip cookies to bake with kids, parents, cousinds, etc!
