CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°.
• Mix butter, sugars, vanilla and eggs in a large bowl.
• Mix together, and stir in, flour, baking soda and salt.
• Stir in chocolate chips.
• Drop dough by rounded measuring tablespoonfuls about 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheet.
• Bake 12-15 minutes or until lightly browned.

• Cool on a wire rack.
• Just a note: I noticed that flat vented cookie sheets work best for even baking. I used dark coated, side-edged cookie sheets on some of the batches and was disappointed because the bottoms of the cookies baked faster than the top. I would think in that case, that lowering the temperature and keeping a good 'eye' on them would help if that is the kind of pans you have as well. ;) PS. The cookies in the photo were baked using flat, no-sided, vented cookie sheets.

BETTY'S "RED SPOON" NOTE: To bake fresh cookies on short notice, keep a supply of cookie dough in the freezer, wrapped in foil or plastic wrap and stored in airtight container. Thaw dough just soft enough to spoon onto baking sheet. Both cookie dough and baked cookies can be frozen for 9-12 months.
