My Fave Chocolate Chip Cookies

Mum has been making this recipe since I was just little. It's the BEST! Sometimes I substitute 1 cup of whole wheat flour for 1 of white. It makes the cookies a little chewier. I also like a lot of vanilla, so I generally use 2 cap-fulls when I make these.

4. Add flour, baking soda, and salt; combine.
5. Stir in chocolate chips.
6. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto a greased baking sheet.
7. Bake for 8-10 minutes. (We use convection bake, so 8 minutes in our oven is usually just right).
