Ingredients




1 cup butter at room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup of golden-yellow sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preparation

1 Pre-heat oven to 375 ( I turned it down to 350).  In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars together until creamy and smooth.  Beat in vanilla and eggs, one at a time.  Scrape down the sides of the bowl when necessary, usually after the addition of each egg. 2 In a separate bowl combine the dry ingredients, flour, baking soda and salt. With you mixer on low (stir speed on the Kitchen Aide) add the dry ingredients to the sugar and egg mixture. Once incorporated, stir in the chocolate chips. 3 Using a tablespoon drop the dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet.  I used the small ice-cream scooper instead for this step.  This allows for the cookies to be the same size.  Bake for 8-10 minutes until the edges are golden.  Remove from baking sheet after 2 minutes and cool on a cooling rack.  Next grab yourself a cold glass of milk, dunk cookie, eat cookie.  You can thank me later.
