Laurie J.'s Chocolate Chip Cookies

1 ¾ c. flour

¾ tsp. baking soda

¼ tsp. salt

1 ½ sticks of butter (softened)

½ c. sugar

½ c. light brown sugar

1 egg

1 tsp. vanilla (a generous one!)

2 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips (one 12 oz. bag)

Directions:

Line cookie sheet with parchment paper.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Combine the flour, salt, and soda in a separate bowl.

Mix the butter and sugars together.  Add in the egg and vanilla and mix until blended.

Mix half of the flour mixture into the wet mixture.  Add in the other half of the flour mixture and mix until well blended.  Stir in the chocolate chips.

Bake for 9-12 minutes depending on how big your cookie scoop is.  

* I use that big Pampered Chef scoop and generously fill it to overflowing.  Also, I use a little more vanilla than the recipe calls for.

* This is from the Baker’s chocolate chunk bag. I just use the chips instead.
