These are classic chocolate chip cookies. Very easy, very yummy. They turn out absolutely perfectly chewy but not too gooey.
I tried really hard to find the site I originally found this recipe on but couldn’t. Sorry!
Chocolate Chip Cookies
1 t. baking soda
1/2 t. salt
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
2 eggs
2 t. vanilla
2 1/2 cups flour
2 cups chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350.
Beat butter with sugars.
Beat in eggs and vanilla.
Stir in dry ingredients (baking soda, salt, flour).
Try not to over beat during any step. You’re wanting to just combine all ingredients.
Drop by spoonful onto ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake for 8 minutes for perfect cookies. Bake for 10 if you’re a weirdo who likes crispy cookies 😉
A couple simple tricks to make perfect cookies.
After dropping spoonfuls of batter onto your pan, add a few chocolate chips to the top. They’ll look even more appealling after baking. 
Take your cookies out of the oven when they still look really doughy. They’ll finish cooking on top of the oven. 
Yum!
YEAH!! You ROCK… I LOVE recipes!!
I will definitely try these this week!!

Who knows where I went wrong!?! Could you just put some of yours in the mail?! HaHa!! 😉

They are soooo amazing! I can't believe it!
But my dough was a lot more gooey and they never “fell” as flat like yours did? Do you know why?
Totally knit-picky though, because these are the best cookies I've ever made!
I'm so glad you posted about them!
Blessings,
Valerie
Wow, I will try this!
Oh my goodness, those cookies look DELICIOUS!!! 😀
