Chocolate chip cookies are an American favorite, but did you know they are also highly revered in Latin America? There are a few different variations (as there are in English), but the basic recipe stays the same.

Ok, enough with the Spanish lessons, let's get on with the recipe!

2 sticks of unsalted butter 2 eggs

2 tsp of milk

Cooking Ware:

Parchment or wax paper

Baking sheets

Mixer

First, heat oven to 400 degrees.

Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat.

Mix the flour, salt, and baking soda and move aside so you don't make a mess.

Pour the melted butter in the mixer's bowl.

Add the sugar and brown sugar.

Blend the butter and sugars well on medium speed.

Add the eggs, 2 tablespoons milk and vanilla extract and mix until well combined.

Slowly incorporate the flour mixture until thoroughly combined.

Stir in the chocolate chips.

Chill the dough, then scoop onto parchment-lined baking sheets, 6 cookies per sheet.

Bake for fifteen minutes or until golden brown, checking the cookies after 5 minutes.

Cool completely and enjoy!
