The perfect chocolate chip cookie is chewy in the middle,  crispy at the ends and disappears by the next morning when you have a bunch of little ladies in the house.

     Ingredients:

• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 cup salted butter, softened (2 sticks)
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips 

Instructions:

Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Place parchment paper on your baking pan. Cream the butter for a minute or so on medium speed in your stand mixer. Add in both the sugars and cream till light and fluffy (medium-high speed). Add in the egg and vanilla extract. Next add the flour, salt and baking soda and mix gently (I use the stand mixer for the whole recipe). Add 2 cups of chocolate chips and mix one last time. Place the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour. Using an ice cream scoop or spoon, scoop up 1.5 inches of dough, make a ball and flatten gently in your palms. Place the cookies 3 inches apart on your baking pan and bake till edges are brown and centers still pale. Gently transfer to a cooling rack.

Goes perfectly with a glass of milk!
