Chocolate Chip Cookies

These are your good old fashioned chocolate chip cookies. I like this recipe better than the Toll House one by far. These chocolate chip cookies taste caramelly- one of my favorite flavors.

Chocolate Chip Cookies

from Kitchen Aid: Great Baking and More

• 1 cup sugar


• 1 cup brown sugar


• 1 cup softened butter


• 2 eggs


• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla


• 1 teaspoon baking soda


• 1 teaspoon salt (a bit less if you're using salted butter)


• 3 cups all-purpose flour


• 1 cup chocolate chips (most recipes call for 2- but I think that's waaaay too much chocolate for the cookie)

 

Cream butter and sugars. Add eggs and vanilla- mix. Add baking soda and salt. Mix. Add flour- mix. By hand with spoon, stir in the chocolate chips.

Scoop onto greased cookie sheet with a cookie scooper (I used a 18/8 scoop). Bake at 375 degrees F for 9-12 minutes.

Yields 4 1/2 dozen.
