@bakehousediaries: Since so many people asked, here is the recipe for Ina Gartens chocolate chip cookies! 1 cup butter softened 1 1/2 cup white sugar 1/4 cup brown sugar 1 egg 1 1/2 tsp vanilla 1 tsp salt 1/2 tsp baking soda 2 cups flour 8 ounces chocolate chopped Beat butter until creamy (medium speed for 3 minutes) . Add in sugars and beat until combined (2-3 minutes). Mix in eggs and vanilla and 2 tbsp of warm water. Fold in dry ingredients and chocolate. Scoop the dough and put them in the freezer for 15 minutes. Place 4 balls of cookie dough on a pan. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes. At 10 minutes take them out and bang them on the counter. Put back in for 3 more minutes and pull out again to bang the pan. Continue every 3 minutes until the cookies have baked for 18-20 minutes. Enjoy!
