The Best Choco Chippers

My favorite treat in the world are choco chip cookies. So, I have naturally tried every recipe out there. This recipe is by far my favorite ever...I think it's the butter, some may say it's because of the dark brown sugar. Usually cookies with all butter turn out flat, but not these babies! They are the perfect puffiness. I make at least a batch a week and I think I can do the recipe in my sleep now.

Here it goes:

3 Sticks (1.5 C) of butter (melted a little--I nuke it for about 20 seconds in micro)

1 cup of sugar

1 1/2 cups of brown sugar (dark brown seems to be better, but use what you have)

Mix the above ingredients well.

Add:

2 eggs

and mix

Next add:

1 1/2 T. vanilla

1 teas. soda

1 teas. salt

4-4 1/2 cups of flour (I always sift a little and then measure exactly 4 1/2 cups with a knife to be exact...I believe the amount of flour is key to get them not too flat or not too dry.)

Add:

1 1/2 of 11.5 oz package of milk choco chips (I will only make these with the Guittard brand in the silver package)

Bake at 350 degrees for 11-12 min. (12 is perfect for my oven, but every oven is different, so you need to experiment).

This makes about 4 1/2 doz cookies, so you can also halve it if you don't need so many, although I just store mine in the freezer and snack on them waaayyy too much!

Enjoy!
