Chocolate Chip Cookies

Hiya!

I thought it might be a good idea to post a simple chocolate chip cookie recipe. I mean, who doesn't enjoy a chocolate chip cookie every so often? There's something so very comforting about them. It's a type of cookie that any type of person can relate to and it can't help but evoke happy childhood memories. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

• 1 1/4 cups of all purpose flour
• 1/2 cup of packed light brown sugar
• 1/2 cup of butter, softened
• 1/4 cup of sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 six ounce package of semi-sweet chocolate chips

1) Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease the cookie sheets (I like using Pam cooking spray for the convenience factor. It's also fat-free and it's 100% natural vegetable oil). Get a large bowl and put in all the ingredients except the chocolate chips.

2) Mix all the ingredients well. If you use a mixer, set it at medium speed.

3) Add the chocolate chips now and stir well. I find it best to just get my hands into it and knead it. Its a personal choice :).

4) Scoop up rounded teaspoonfuls of the mix and drop it on the greased cookie sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10 minutes, if you like a moist cookie,or 12 minutes if you like your cookie with a crunch (likely browned). Then remove cookie with a spatula and let cool. Nothing goes better with chocolate chip cookies then milk!
