We are in love with New York City. For us, it’s the boyfriend you never really get over, but you have to move on because it’s not really a healthy relationship. One of our many favorite things about it is the Magnolia Bakery. Magnolia is famous for cupcakes, but we love to bake their chocolate chip cookies. They are easy to make and a good gift, because they are way more special than regular old cookies. Bon Appetit!
Magnolia Bakery Chocolate Chip Cookies
1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/3 softened stick unsalted butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 firmly packed cup light brown sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, cream the butter with the sugars until smooth, about 3 minutes. Add the egg and the vanilla and mix well. Add the flour mixture and beat thoroughly. Stir in the chocolate chips.
4. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets, leaving several inches between for expansion. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Makes 2 to 3 dozen cookies.

considering i ate 10 in about 5 minutes…i would say it is pretty bad. the marriott is still finding crumbs.
