I was searching on the web for a chocolate chip cookie recipe, and came across one I wanted to try. I'm tired of the spoon and bake ones...borrring. These were really good, and yielded about 4 dozen for me (though the last batch didn't make it out of the oven alive, I forgot all about them...yikes!). The only difference was that I used milk chocolate chips, because that's all I had in the house. They were a bit on the rich side for me with those, so next time I'll probably make sure I have regular choc chips. They were really good today on the second day though :)
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons hot water
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350.
Cream together the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
Dissolve baking soda in hot water. Add to batter along with salt. Stir in flour, chocolate chips, and nuts. Drop by large spoonfuls onto ungreased pans.
Bake for about 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until edges are nicely browned.
My middle two kiddos and I shared them outside on the picnic table with some cold milk. Fun AND Yum...doesn't get much better! :)
