Chocolate Chip Cookies

Chocolate Chip Cookies

1 cup softened butter

3/4 cup sugar

3/4 cup brown sugar, packed

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2-1/4 cup all purpose flour

3/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/3 teaspoon salt

2 cups chocolate chips

Beat butter, sugar and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl until creamy.  Add eggs and vanilla and beat well.  In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt and chocolate chips.  Slowly add flour mixture to egg mixture and combine really well.

Bake them at 350 degrees F for 10-12 minutes.

To freeze them:  scoop them onto a foil or wax paper lined cookie sheet and place into the freezer until hard.  Remove the frozen cookie dough balls from the foil or wax paper and store them in a gallon freezer food storage bag.

Thaw and bake them at 350 degrees F for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden brown.  Remove them to a wire rack to cool completely.  The lighter in color, the chewier the cookie will be. Or bake them frozen for 18 minutes.
