Good ol' Chocolate Chip Cookies

Posted by H&B on - Deserts - Easy

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 1 cup + 2 Tbsp flour, sifted
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 - 1 cup chocolate chips or chunks

Begin by creaming the sugars and butter together in a large mixing bowl. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Sift and stir in flour, salt and baking powder. Finish by adding chocolate chips, and nuts if you would like. Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees. Using a teaspoon drop, batter well apart on a greased cookie sheet, and bake 10 minutes. You can replace 1/4 cup of the flour with cocoa powder and add dry cherries or apricots to make an even more sinful cookie. Replacing 1/4 of flour and adding 3/4 cup of coconut is also a very nice addition.
