Cookies and Candies

Ingredients

Directions

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter, softened - BUT NOT MELTED
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 (12 oz) pkg semi-sweet chocolate chips (2 cups)
Preheat oven to 375°.
In small bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
In large bowl combine butter, sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract; beat until creamy. Beat in eggs.
Gradually add flour mixture. Stir in chocolate chips. Drop by level tablespoons onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake at 375° until just golden. It is better to take them out of the oven early, so they’ll be soft and chewy.
TIP: Mix batter by hand, NOT with a mixer or the cookies will not rise!
These are everyone’s favorites! All the nieces and nephews have helped make this recipe with Aunt Albie. The cookies go really fast in the presence of my family!!
