Recipe: Chocolate Chip Cookies

Chocolate Chip Cookies

This recipe came from Abeka's Family and Consumer Science course.  My daughter is taking it this year as an elective for her senior year of high school.  I thought these cookies were delicious!

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. salt

3/4 cup granulated sugar

3/4 cup brown sugar

1 cup stick butter or margarine, softened

2 large eggs

1 tsp. vanilla

1 (12 oz.) bag chocolate chips (2 cups)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

In a medium mixing bowl, stir together dry ingredients: Flour, baking soda and salt.

In a large mixing bowl, with electric mixer, beat sugars, butter, eggs and vanilla until smooth and fluffy.

Stir dry mixture into beaten mixture.

Add chocolate chips; stir until evenly distributed.

Drop mounds of dough 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheet

Bake 8-10 minutes until light brown.

Let cookies set on pan for 1-2 minutes; move to cooling rack.

***Dough can be baked into bar cookies.  Omit steps 6-8.  Evenly press dough into ungreased, foil lined cookie sheet and bake approximately 15 minutes until light brown.  Cool 5-8 minutes and cut into squares.
