Chocolate Chip Cookies

Chocolate Chip Cookies... Yum!

My recipe is no secret - and it is in my opinion the VERY best chocolate chip cookie recipe. So good, in fact, that I've never had the slightest urge to try any other recipes. They're always very satisfying.

The secret is in the order you combine the ingredients, and the way you bake them. They need to be baked at 375; last time I accidentally baked them at a lower temperature, and they didn't get crispy on the outside. When they come out perfectly, they're ever so slightly crispy on the outside, and chewy on the inside. Absolutely scrumptious!

Start with these ingredients:

2 1/4 c. flour

1 t. baking soda

1 t. salt

3/4 cup white sugar

3/4 c. brown sugar

1 c. (2 sticks) butter, softened.

2 eggs

1 t. vanilla

2 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips

Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl and set aside.

Cream the softened butter and sugars until fluffy and blended together. Add vanilla and eggs. Add flour mixture a little at a time until it is all incorporated.

Fold in cchocolate chips.

Look at the amazing dough you just made!

Scoop into 1-inch balls, and place on an ungreased baking sheet. My baking sheets, Baker's Secret, from Amazon.com, work really well!

Bake for 9-11 minutes at 375 degrees. Mine took 10 minutes.
