Renee’s Chocolate Chip Cookies

Mix butter and sugars in stand mixer. Next mix in eggs and vanilla. Then add salt and baking soda making sure to combine thoroughly.

Add flour into wet mixture about a third at a time and stir to combine but don’t over mix. Stir in chocolate chips. Dough will be stiff.

Scoop out onto parchment lined baking sheets and bake at 350 degrees for 12-14 min. Turn baking sheets halfway through baking because ovens are always hotter in back.

You can use all sizes of scoops. Just adjust timing accordingly. Take cookies out of the oven when the center still looks underdone and edges are turning golden brown.

Let cookies rest on baking sheets for 5 or 6 minutes after removing from oven. Then transport to cooling rack.

Dough freezes beautifully. Scoop out on to sheets and put in freezer. When frozen, put into zip-top bags. Bake at 325 for 20-22 minutes.
