choc chip cookies

Favourite chocolate chip cookies
Serves 4

An old friend shared this wonderful recipe with me a few years ago. Make sure you use a high-quality semi-sweet chocolate chip like Ghirardelli. You won’t achieve the same results with Hershey's, sadly.

*

1 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
½ cup sugar
2 eggs (room temp if possible)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla
3 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
¾ teaspoon salt
1½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (feel free to throw in the whole bag if you like them super chocolate-y)

First
Cream butter, brown sugar and white sugar together in a mixer. Then add the eggs, one at a time. Beat until creamy. Add the vanilla.

Second
In another bowl mix the dry ingredients together before slowly adding them to the creamed mixture. When combined, stop the mixer and add the semi-sweet chips. Mix up and then drop by the teaspoonful onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Mold them into a ball as best as you can with the spoon for a more shaped cookie.

Third
Bake on 350 degrees for 8 minutes. Place on wire rack to cool. Enjoy!
