The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies
By Heidi Monteith
1 cup butter or margarine, 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
½ teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups semisweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Cream together the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Stir in the vanilla. Dissolve baking soda in hot water. Add to batter along with salt. Stir in flour. Stir in chocolate chips. Drop by large spoonfuls onto ungreased pans. (I use a medium sized scoop.)
Bake for about 8-10 minutes at 350 degrees F, or until edges are nicely browned. Be careful not to overbake.
Yield: About 24 cookies.
Tips from Heidi:
I use Land O’ Lakes Margarine.
You can double this recipe.
You can drop the spoonfuls of dough onto a pan almost touching, put the pan into the freezer for a couple of hours, then move the dough balls into a freezer bag and store them in the freezer for the next time you want cookies. When you are ready to use the dough balls, take them out and put them on an ungreased pan. Then preheat the oven. When the oven is ready you can go ahead and bake the cookies for 10 minutes. Yum!
