Grandma’s Chocolate Chip Cookies

Grandma’s Chocolate Chip Cookies

This is the full recipe. I cut it in half (which is kind of tricky when the full recipe calls for one egg).

Ingredients:

2/3 c. butter (softened) – Use the real stuff for this recipe.
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. brown sugar (packed)
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
1 3/4 c. flour – I used all white instead of sneaking in some whole wheat.
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 c. chocolate chips

Directions:

1. Heat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Line cookie sheets (or toaster oven pans) with parchment paper. Trust me on this one. It’s worth it.
3. Combine softened butter, sugar, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth.
4. Add flour, soda, and salt. Blend.
5. Gently mix in chocolate chips.
6. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls about 2 inches apart on the cookie sheets.
7. Bake 8-10 minutes (7-9 in the toaster oven).
8. Cool slightly before removing from the pan to cool on a wire rack.

Tip: Let them bake until they’re slightly golden brown on top. They’ll still be a little soft to the touch.
