Chocolate Chip Cookies

This is just off the back of the Gold Metal Flour bag, but I love it!

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups butter, softened
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1 1/4 cups packed brown sugar
1 Tbs. vanilla
2 eggs
4 cups flour
2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chip cookies

Preheat oven to 350 Degrees.

In large bowl, beat butter, sugars, vanilla and eggs on medium speed or with spoon until light and fluffy. Stir in flour, baking soda and salt (dough will be stiff). Stir in chocolate chips.

On ungreased cooked sheet, drop dough by tablespoonfuls or ice cream scoop 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly.

Bake 11 to 13 minutes or until light brown (centers will be soft). Cool 1 to 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack.

Makes about 6 dozen cookies.

For nut lovers: stir in 2 cups coarsely chopped nuts with the chocolate chips.
