Best Chocolate Chip Cookies

Cream:
4 sticks of butter, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 cups brown sugar
2 tsp. vanilla
3 eggs

Add:
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
6 cups of flour



Stir in 4 cups of chocolate chips (I like to do half milk, half semi-sweet). Using a 1/4 c. measuring cup to scoop out the dough, cook 6-8 on a sheet, 350 degrees, for about 12 minutes. You don't want these cookies to brown at all - take them out when they look just barely done and let them sit on the tray for a couple minutes.


The recipe makes 36 huMUNGous cookies or 70 normal-sized ones. (I once made over 100 bite-sized ones for a party.) It can be halved; to half an egg, simply mix it up in a bowl and measure out two tablespoons. Still, I recommend making the full batch. They freeze excellently.
