The All American Chocolate Chip Cookie


Does it get any better than a simple chocolate chip cookie? Never have I seen a food more comforting or able to change a mood so suddenly. Even the worst mood can suddenly be changed by a chocolate chip cookie. This recipe is the best I've found and trust me, I've tried a few. Rich and buttery with more than enough chips it stays moist for days, packs well and inspires a smile every time.

2 1/4 cups flour
3/4 cup white sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
2 sticks butter, softened or melted
1/2 t. baking soda
1/2 t. salt
12 oz semi sweet chocolate chips. (1 bag)

Mix all together. Scrape sides of bowl to make sure all flour is mixed.

Drop by spoonfulls on ungreased cookie sheet. I use a small cereal spoon heaped. They come out about 2-3 inches across. Perfect dunking size.

Bake at 350 degrees for 9-10 minutes. The outer edge will turn crisp but the middle will be soft.

Let cool for a few minutes and then serve with milk!
