Yummy Chocolate Chip Cookies

I have tried more than a dozen different recipes for chocolate chip cookies, but I was looking for something specific; something a little more nostalgic.. an aroma and taste that brings back childhood memories.

This recipe fits! I mean it's perfect! nothing less or more than a simple soft and chewy chocolate chip cookie... no additions... no extra flavors, just plain simple and classic.

Just the way I like'em....

Ingredients:

2&1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature

1/2 cup white sugar

1 cup packed light-brown sugar

1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs
2 cups semisweet and/or milk chocolate chips

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 350°. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda; set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the butter with both sugars; beat on medium speed until light and fluffy. Reduce speed to low; add the salt, vanilla, and eggs. Beat until well mixed, about 1 minute. Add flour mixture; mix until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.

2. Drop heaping tablespoon-size balls of dough about 2 inches apart on baking sheets lined with parchment paper.

3. Bake until cookies are golden around the edges, but still soft in the center, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven, and let cool on baking sheet 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack, and let cool completely. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature up to 1 week.

Try it.. it's yummy..
