Wonderful Chocolate Chip Cookies

These cookies are perfect. They cook up exactly how I would expect chocolate chip cookies to, crispy around the edges, and chewy in the middle.

• Ready In: 27 mins

Ingredients

• 1 1⁄2 cups flour
• 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt

Directions

1. -Sift flour, baking soda, and salt together. Set aside.
2. -Cream butter and sugars on low until smooth and lump free (about 3 minutes).
3. -Add vanilla and eggs. Beat 15 seconds or until fully incorporated.
4. -On low, add flour mixture. Beat until just incorporated (will look a tad different than your traditional cookie dough mix at this point).
5. -Add chocolate.
6. -Refrigerate dough for 1 hour (I've done 30 minutes before and been okay) or measure out dough by spoonful and freeze.
7. -Preheat oven to 350
8. -Line pans with Parchment Paper.
9. -For fresh dough: Bake 12 minutes, turning pans halfway (and rotating).
10. -For frozen dough: Bake 17 minutes.
11. -Cool for one minute and transfer to wire rack (if they make it there!).
