Pink Chip Cookies - Bake A Batch!

Baking chocolate chip cookies with pink chocolate chips can be a fun and unique twist on the classic chocolate chip cookie recipe. Here's how you can make them:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups pink chocolate chips
• Optional: chopped nuts (such as walnuts or pecans)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is light and fluffy.

3. Add Eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until they're fully incorporated into the batter.

4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

5. Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed or by hand until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; you want the dough to come together without becoming tough.

6. Add Pink Chocolate Chips (and Nuts): Stir in the pink chocolate chips until they're evenly distributed throughout the dough. If you're adding nuts, fold them in as well.

7. Scoop and Shape the Dough: Use a spoon or a cookie scoop to drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.

8. Bake: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for about 9 to 11 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown around the edges. The centers should still be slightly soft. Baking time may vary depending on your oven and cookie size.

9. Cool: Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

10. Enjoy: Once the cookies are completely cooled, enjoy the delightful pink chocolate chip cookies!

These cookies will have a lovely pink hue due to the pink chocolate chips, making them visually appealing and perfect for special occasions or just a cheerful treat.
