Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookies

I have one word to describe these chocolate chip cookies - AMAZING - They've got the perfect texture - so soft. I mean, that's how chocolate chip cookies should taste like! The recipe comes from Betty Crocker cookbook. I LOVE Betty Crocker recipes, I even have a label for her recipes (My husband always laughs whenever I refer Betty Crocker to "her" or "she" as if it is a real person.). I am a huge fan of humongous chocolate chip cookies, like the ones you see at a bakery. So I tried to make them huge but you can definitely make them as small as you want.

Chocolate Chip Cookies
Adapted from Betty Crocker's Recipe

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups butter or margarine, softened
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1 1/4 cups brown sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla
2 eggs
4 cups Gold Medal all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3-4 cups chocolate chips (The recipe calls for 4 cups but I just didn't have the guts to add 4 cups of chocolate chips..... 3 cups was quite enough for me...)

Direction:

Heat oven to 375 degrees F. In large bowl, mix butter, sugars, vanilla, and eggs with spoon. Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt (dough will be stiff). Stir in chocolate chip.

On ungreased cookie sheet, drop dough by level 1/4 cupfuls about 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly with fork.
Bake 12-15 minutes or until light brown (centers will be soft). Cool slightly. Remove from cookie sheet to wire rack; cool.

Well, my boy went crazy over these cookies!! :)
