Chocolate Chip Cookies
Makes 6 dozen cookies
Ingredients
- 1 lb. Butter
- 1 1/2 C. Sugar
- 2 C. Brown Sugar
- 3 Eggs beaten
- 1 Tbsp. Vanilla Extract
- 6 C. Flour sometimes won't need all 6 cups, depending on the weather and the moisture content of the flour
- 1 tsp. Salt
- 1 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
- 4-5 C. Chocolate Chips I usually just eyeball these, Keep adding them until it looks "chocolaty" enough.
- Chopped Walnuts as desired - I never add these but Mom likes them.
Instructions
- Cream together: butter, sugar and brown sugar until light in color and fluffy.
- Then add: eggs, vanilla extract, salt and baking soda.
- Mix to combine.
- Add flour slowly, 2 cups at a time.
- When you have a constant dough, add the chocolate chips and nuts (if nuts are desired).
- Form into balls using a small cookie/ice cream scoop. place balls on a wax paper lined cookie sheet and freeze. Once cookie dough balls are frozen hard, removed and place balls in a gallon Ziploc freezer bags.
- Store in the freezer to bake as desired, allowing a bit more baking time if not thawed.
- Bake at 350°F. for 10-12 minutes until set but do not over bake.
- We enjoy putting one cookie ball in a ramekin, baking it and, while still hot from the oven, topping it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, to be eaten immediately.
- May also be made into bar cookies.
- Spread an even layer of dough into a greased and lined baking dish. Bake at 300°F. until set in the middle.
