Easy- Sarah's Chocolate Chip Cookies

These cookies are so easy, I've been making them since I was 6 years old. My aunt is a professional baker, and gave me the recipe as a child. I still use, and now my kids do too. One bowl, one fork, one pan and a set of measure cups and spoons. - Note- Yes, these dooo flatten quite a bit, but I've also noticed that if there's even a teaspoon too much butter, or a bit less baking soda that happens, so when I mix the sugars into the butter, if the mix has any extra butter in it, I try to either drain it off, or spoon it out.... or I add more B.soda.... Seems to help a bit.

• Ready In: 48 mins
• Yields: 24 large cookies

Ingredients

• 1⁄2 cup brown sugar
• 1⁄2 cup white sugar
• 1⁄2 cup butter or 1⁄2 cup margarine
• 1  egg
• 1  teaspoon vanilla
• 1 1⁄8 cups flour
• 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 2  cups chocolate chips

Directions

1. Melt butter in a large, microwave safe bowl.
2. Add both sugars, stir until smooth and sugars are dissolved.
3. Add egg and vanilla. Mix well.
4. Add flour, salt, baking soda and chocolate chips.
5. Freeze for 1/2 an hour, or refrigerate for 1 hour.
6. Bake at 325 F for approximately 8-10 minutes on an UN-greased cookie sheet. If you overcook, they aren't as good. These cookies disappear fast, so eat them faster. If you can't eat them right away, put them in the freezer, and they stay nice and chewy longer.
