Chocolate Chip Cookies

I've been feeling a strange craving for cookies in the past few days and so I decided to bake them myself. It's my first attempt at making them, and if I may say so... they didn't turn out so bad. Nobody choked! Turns out, I actually CAN bake and I quite liked it too. So here's what I did.

What you need : 

• All purpose flour (Maida) - 1 cup + 2 tablespoon
• Baking soda - ½ teaspoon
• Salt - a pinch, skip it if using salted butter
• Unsalted butter - ½ cup or 1 stick, soften to room temperature
• Granulated sugar - ¼ cup
• Light brown sugar - ¼ cup
• Vanilla extract - ½ teaspoon
• Milk - 2 tablespoons
• Chocolate chips - ½ cup

What to do :

• Line a cookie sheet with butter paper
• Take a bowl and mix Maida and baking soda in a bowl. Mix it till it's incorporated.  
• Take the butter, melt it just a little if you've just taken it out of the fridge. Beat it with wire whisk or by electric mixer till it becomes creamy and smooth.
• Then add both sugars (granulated and brown sugar). Again beat till it becomes fluffy (about 2 minutes). 
• Then add vanilla extract and milk. Whisk till it gets incorporated.
• Add dry ingredients. Beat it until incorporated.
• Add chocolate chips. And fold them in. If dough looks soft and sticky than chill it into refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
• Now make 1 inch size balls from chilled cookie dough. Place on the cookie sheet few inches apart from each other, because they will spread as bake.
• Bake them for 10-12 minutes in microwave until the edges have become golden brown.
• Let it cool into the sheet for 5 minutes. Voila! Chocolate Chip Cookies are ready!

It's simple and easy to do. If I can manage it, I'm sure anyone can.
