One of my favorite things to do in my spare time is bake and my favorite thing to make is chocolate chip cookies. They are a fan favorite, and they are pretty simple. Here is the recipe:
Ingredients
§ 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
§ 1 teaspoon baking soda
§ 1 teaspoon salt
§ 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
§ 3/4 cup granulated sugar
§ 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
§ 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
§ 2 large eggs
§ 2 cups (12-oz. pkg.) Nestlé Toll House Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels
§ 1 cup chopped nuts (if omitting, add 1-2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour)
Method
1. Preheat oven to 375° F.
2. Combine flour, baking soda and salt in small bowl. Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract in large mixer bowl until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in morsels and nuts. Drop by rounded tablespoon onto ungreased baking sheets.
3. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.
