One of my pet peeves with cookies is when they turn out really flat. I want a cookie with some substance to it. That's why I love this recipe. The dough is a little on the dry side and it makes for a nice thick cookie with a crunchy outside and soft inside.
Best Chocolate Chip Cookies Ever (that's the official name)
from Loralee Bowen and Michelle Johnson
1 cup butter or margarine
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
2 3/4 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
semi-sweet chocolate chips
Cream butter and sugars well (until light and fluffy). Add eggs and vanilla and mix. Add dry ingredients and chocolate chips. Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes. Cool on pan for 1 minutes then transfer to wire rack. Makes about 2 to 3 dozen cookies.
