Carrie's Chocolate Chip Cookies
INGREDIENTS
  • 3 C white flour
  • 1 C (2 sticks) margarine, softened
  • 3/4 C sugar
  • 1/2 C light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 3 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 C semi-sweet chocolate chips (it's worth it to spend a little extra $$$ for better chocolate)
  • *walnuts optional (I really like nuts in my cookies but many people do not.)
DIRECTIONS
  1. Mix together all ingredients except flour and chocolate chips (and walnuts). I like to add everything in this order: margarine, sugar, brown sugar, eggs, baking soda, vanilla. Mix well.
  2. Add flour (I do it 1/2 C at a time) and mix well.
  3. Stir in chocolate chips (and walnuts).
  4. Drop by spoonful onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees on middle rack until tops of cookies are a light golden brown.
  5. *A yummy variation of this recipe is to make the dough as usual but replace the chocolate chips with butterscotch chips and add coconut flakes instead of walnuts.*
