Mom's Best Chocolate Chip Cookies

By Quilting Mom, Ontario

Everyone tells me this recipe is the absolute best they've ever had. And it is the only recipe I have not altered in some way, okay maybe I did one little change I added vanilla.

Ingredients

2/3 cup butter softened
2 cups lightly packed brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tbsp hot water
1 tsp vanilla
2 2/3 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt

Directions

Beat together butter, brown sugar, eggs, hot water and vanilla. Stir in flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Stir in 1 package (300 g) Hershey’s Milk Chocolate Chipits. It must be milk chocolate!
Drop from small spoon onto ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake at 375ºF (190ºC) for 8-9 mins.

The key to chewy cookies is to not overbake them. Take them out when the tops just start to crack, 9 mins max, and you will have moist chewy cookies. It works best if you use an air-bake cookie sheet.
