Chocolate Chip Cookies

1 cup butter or ghee
½ cup white sugar
½ cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 eggs
3 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1½ cups chocolate chips

Soften butter then cream in sugar until smooth. Cream in eggs and vanilla. In separate bowl mix flour, baking soda, and salt, then slowly mix into creamed mixture until fully blended. Mix in chocolate chips.

Bake 10-12 minutes @ 350 degrees.

The key to a soft chewy cookie is to not cook them too long. If it looks all poofy and golden brown its probably too much. Fret not though, they are still awesome, just a bit more on the cakey side.. perfect for dunking in milk.

Bake for about 10-12 minutes or until slightly browned on the edges. The middle may look under cooked, but that’s what is going to give a nice soft cookie later.
