Michael's Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

Michael's Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies 

1 stick Butter - 4 oz very soft

1/2 C sugar

1/2 C Brown sugar

1 egg room temperature

1 tsp vanilla

1 C  flour or  plus 1/4 C flour 

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 C chocolate chip cookies

Method:  preheat oven to 350'F

Cream sugar with butter with spatula;  add egg and vanilla; blend in quickly with hand blender - barely 30 seconds. 

Shift all dry ingredients .. Add flour in slowly -  the dough is pasty when pressed together - not dry dough.  

Bake at 350'F - 8 to 10-1/2 min

Edge should be browned. 

Tip(s):

Dropping the dough on light color Silpat, 2 in apart.  Without cookie sheet, place the Silpat with cookie doughs on it directly on the baking rack sitting at bottom 2nd.  When using darker colored Silpat, the browning of bottom of the cookies are faster.

What is so good about this batch is the nice shiny crispy top layer.  Chewy center, nice browned bottom.
