Chocolate Chip Cookies (the best!)

I made chocolate chip cookies from scratch for the first time a few months ago. I seem to make them every time I have to bring a dessert for something. Well, they seem to be a hit. My sister brought it to my attention last night that I haven't added them to by blog yet. Yay Laura for noticing! The recipe makes a lot of cookies... like 3 dozen. So, feel free to cut it in half if you don't need as many.

I found the recipe via Pinterest. Here is the original post.

Ingredients:
1. 1 cup of butter (aka 2 sticks... yikes! it's worth it though.)
2. 1 cup sugar
3. 1/2 cup brown sugar
4. 2 eggs
5. 2 tsp. vanilla
6. 2 1/4 cup flour
7. 1 tsp. baking soda
8. 1/2 tsp. salt
9. 12 ounce bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips (i prefer the mini chips)


Directions:
1. Soften butter in microwave and then cream together with both sugars in the mixing bowl.
2. Add the eggs and vanilla to mixing bowl.
3. In a seperate bowl, combine the flour, salt and baking soda. Add this mixture to the mixing bowl a little at a time until well combined.
4. Add the bag of chocolate chips to the cookie dough. Leave the mixer at low speed while you slowly add the entire bag of chips.

5. Scoop the cookie dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet. I make each dough ball about the size of a golf ball.
6. Bake at 375 degrees for 9 minutes.
