Cookie Recipe

This recipe has served me well for the last 15 years.

3/4 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs
3 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups chocolate chips

• The butter must be softened, but not melted. Melting it was a disastrous mistake I made a number of times.


• The line suggesting 1 teaspoon baking soda is a pack of lies. You must use at least 2.5 teaspoons.


• Don't overbake. I would tell you how long, but ovens vary so you will have to eyeball it.
