Arguably THE Best Chocolate Chip Cookie Ever

This recipe was given to me by my mother, I remember her making these cookies throughout my childhood. And I may be somewhat biased, but I've been told on quite a few occasions that these are the best cookies ever made. Some would even go as far as to pay me for the recipe! But I have denied the requests, until today, when I have finally decided to share this recipe with the internet world. Enjoy! 

THE Best Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

Ingredients: 

2 1/2 cups flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 cup butter

1/2 cup sugar

3/4 cup brown sugar

2 teaspoons vanilla

1 egg

2 cups chocolate chips (or more if you're a chocoholic like Giniel)

Directions:

Preheat Oven to 375 degrees (Fahrenheit). 

In a small bowl sift together flour, baking soda, and salt

In a large bowl cream together butter, sugar, and brown sugar. Add vanilla and egg and beat well.

Add the dry ingredients to the butter/sugar/vanilla/egg mixture 

Add chocolate chips. Bake 10-12 minutes or until slightly brown. 

**The key to making the simple chocolate chip cookie into THE best chocolate chip cookie ever, is the cream mixture. The butter should NOT be melted, but should be around room temperature, and extremely soft. (if the butter is frozen, put in the microwave on defrost setting).
