Chocolate Chip Cookies

These are Jaxon's favorite cookies! He especially likes to snitch the cookie dough.

1 c. butter, softened (the best way is to leave it out on the counter until it reaches room temperature. Don't warm it up in the microwave!)

3/4 c. sugar

3/4 c. brown sugar

2 eggs

1 tsp. vanilla

3 c. flour

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. salt

1 c. (or more;) chocolate chips

Cream together butter and sugars in a mixing bowl. Beat in eggs and vanilla. In another bowl, combine all dry ingredients. Add dry ingredients to butter mixture a little at a time. Use a 1 inch cookie scoop to form balls on a cookie sheet. Bake at 375 for 10 minutes.

I place as many 1 inch balls of cookie dough on a cookie sheet as I can and place them in the freezer until they harden. Then I put them in a gallon freezer bag and save them for those moments when you just have to have a fresh baked cookie.
