Chocolate Chip Cookies

When somebody says cookie, it brings a certain image to mind. The most common cookie is the chocolate chip cookie, and it is the most popular for a reason! If you have never made chocolate chip cookies from scratch, I am proud to say that they are almost impossible to mess up! My second or third time making them I forgot to put in the dry ingredients, but that is a story for another time!

Here we go!

First, Mix together the dry ingredients in a small bowl. 

Next combine the butter, the sugars, and the vanilla!

Add the dry ingredients into the butter mixture.

Here is what it should look like, beat it until it is fluffy!

Ass the chocolate chips to the dough and mix until just combined.

Now you have two options:

Scoop the cookies onto a cookie sheet, or put them in a container for later!

And now you have plenty of cookies! I like them fresh so I make 8 or so at a time and keep the others in the refrigerator.

Below is the recipe:

• 
  
• Ingredients:
• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• 2 cups chocolate chips

Preheat the oven to 375 F. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt in small bowl. Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract in large mixer bowl until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in morsels and nuts. Drop by rounded tablespoon onto ungreased baking sheets. 

Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.
