No one can turn away homemade chocolate chip cookies. And, these might be the best chocolate chip cookies that you will ever have. They are fun and easy to make, but easy enough to do outdoors or as an activity with children.Â
Cookies make great snacks for camping trips and picnics. They give you a burst of energy to help set up camp, go for a hike, or are the perfect ending to a meal cooked over the fire.
I think that these cookies are the best when baked big and soft. Super great for parties and giving to friends. Or, you can eat them all by yourself! Try them with a glass of cold milk, or simply on their own.
Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup salted butter
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips or chunks
Equipment

Directions
- Evenly position two racks in the middle of the camp oven and preheat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line two baking sheets with parchment or baking paper.

- Beat together the butter, sugars, eggs, and vanilla in a large bowl until smooth.

- Transfer hot cookies with a flip to a rack to cool.
