Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookies

Lets pretend that we are just coming home 

from school and have a big plate of 

warm cookies and cold milk waiting for us.

They are so easy to mix up.

 Start with room temperature butter, 

beat in the sugars, then add the egg.

 Beat until fluffy. Mix in vanilla.

 Add the flour, baking soda and salt thru a sifter.

 Dump in the chocolate chips.

 Mix just until everything is incorporated.

 Use a teaspoon full and space 2" apart.

 I sometimes use parchment paper. 

An un-greased baking sheet is all you'll need.

 Bake @375 until lightly golden around the edges.

 Cheers!

 Scratch and Sniff.....just kidding!

 I chill the remaining dough and when firm enough 

I roll it into walnut-sized balls. 

I then freeze or refrigerate 

to bake more warm cookies the next day.

That's how we roll!

They don't last long!
