Plain and Simple - Chocolate Chip Cookies

I decided to just go with a classic today and make chocolate chip cookies. No pictures since people ate them so fast, but they looked pretty generic. I received a positive report about them, so that's always nice. I really liked that they stayed soft instead of getting hard after a night (which some do).

The Recipe is easy:

I made around 35 cookies around the size a little smaller than a palm (but I have small hands so..)
Ingredients:

• - 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• - 1 cup white sugar
• - 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
• - 2 eggs
• - 2 tsp vanilla
• - 3 cups all-purppose flour
•  - 1 tsp baking soda (dissolved in 2 tsp hot water)
• - 1/2 tsp salt
• - 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips (i like to put mini's in too so there can be more chocolate)
• (you can add walnuts if wanted (around 1 cup) but I didn't)

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees

Cream the butter with both sugars until smooth

Add the eggs 1 at a time

Add the vanilla

Add the dissolved baking soda and salt

Stir in the flour and chocolate chips (and nuts if you added them)

Either scoop spoonfuls or roll 1 1/2 to 2 inch balls

Bake on a ungreased cookie sheet  for 10 minutes until the edges and bottoms slightly brown.

ENJOY!
