Five: Chocolate Chip Cookies

2 1/4 cup Flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 sticks butter (or Crisco!)
2 large eggs
2 cups chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine baking soda, flour, and salt in a small bowl. Then combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and butter in a large bowl and beat until well mixed. Then beat in eggs one at a time. Once that is mixed, gradual beat in the dry mixture. Finally, add chocolate chips. Then place drop cookies on an ungreased baking sheet and bake for 9-11 minutes.
*i hand-beat the batter and use Crisco instead of butter

Have a  fantastic weekend!
