It's National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day!
For years I held this recipe close to my heart. These are the best chocolate chip cookies you will ever eat. I had a cookie company for awhile and these were #1.
Ready to get your cookies on?
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Cream together 1/2 C softened butter, 1/2 C canola (vegetable oil can be used too),
1/2 C sugar and 1 C packed brown sugar.
Add and mix 2 eggs and 1 t. vanilla.
Add and mix 1 t. salt, 1 t. soda and about 3 C flour.
This is where it gets tricky. So many of my recipes are by sight and feel. You want enough flour to make the dough firmish - not stiff, - you know.
Add 2 C chocolate chips - use real, don't skip.
I use parchment paper for cookies. Why? Because it saves on clean up - lazy baker here.
Now, this is the key. Bake about 10 minutes or so. You want to take the cookies out when they are just turning golden brown. Don't wait for them all to be completely toasty looking. I know, you think they aren't baked but most people over bake. As soon as they start turning take them out!
Add a large cold cup of milk and you'll have your mouth
celebrating and your stomach screaming "Give me more!"
