I have had nothing but rave reviews for these chewy, chocolatey, and downright DELICIOUS chocolate chip cookies. Try the recipe for yourself! I think you’ll discover the scrumptious snack/dessert that everyone from the ages of 1 to 100+ will keep asking you to make.
Here’s what you need:
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened (NOT melted or microwaved)
1 Large egg
2 1/4 cups AP flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 bag (12 oz by weight) semisweet chocolate chips*
1 cup coarsely chopped nuts (optional)
Here’s what you do:
1. Heat oven to 375 degrees. In large bowl, mix sugars, butter, and egg. Stir in baking soda, salt, and flour*. (Dough WILL BE stiff!!). Stir in chocolate chips and nuts, if desired.
2. On ungreased cookie sheets*, drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls* about 2 inches apart. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until light brown (centers will be soft). Cool slightly. Remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks.
NOTES******************************************
*You can use peanut butter chips, mint chocolate chips, or your favorite chips. I have tried using choc. chunks before, but it doesn’t turn out pretty for me.
*I would be sure to stir in the baking soda and salt well first, before you add the flour. Don’t overmix! Just mix until you can’t see any more flour. It’s rough if you’re not strong. 
*I always line my baking sheet with aluminum foil. Clean up is a breeze. It makes it easy if you only have one pan, too!
*Use a small ice cream scoop to measure out the dough. I can usually get 4 dozen, give or take.

These cookies are totally addictive! Do you have any suggestions on what type of cookie sheet to use?
Thank you!! I really appreciate your enthusiasm for the cookies; I love making them!!
I use a plain cookie sheet that fits easily in my oven. No kidding. I am sorry I don’t have a brand name for you, and I don’t have a store I got it from, but it is a plain, silver (not dark) metal, cookie sheet. Some people would call it a jelly-roll pan, but I have never made a jelly roll, so I just call it a cookie sheet. I have purchased a set of Wilton brand cookie sheets and have tried to make a few on one of these, but the cookies turned out small and burnt on the bottom. This is NOT a good cookie. I do, however, always line my favorite cookie sheet with aluminum foil. This makes for easy clean up and transferring to the wire cooling racks (which are relatively cheap, but are GOOD investments). I don’t like air cushion pans, non-stick pans, or any other fancy pans that cost waaay more than they are worth.
Bottom line: Use what you have and line it with aluminum foil. Those expensive, name-brand pans sometimes aren’t the best!
