Ooey Gooey Chocolate Chip Cookies!!!

Alrighty, another cookie recipe.  This is definitely one of my favorites, especially right out of the oven!  No matter how quiet I am taking them out, my husband always knows too!  So a little tip:  if you have anyone else living in your home other than yourself, make sure you bake more than you need because they WILL be eaten!

Ooey Gooey Chocolate Chip Cookies:


1 1/2 sticks softened butter
1 cup light brown sugar (it can overflow a little)
1/2 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups dark chocolate chips (even if you don't like dark chocolate, use them anyway!  They make the cookie taste SO much better)

Preheat oven to 350 F. Combine butter, brown sugar, and white sugar in a large bowl and mix until creamy.  Add in the eggs and vanilla extract.  Mix again until light and fluffy.  In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, salt, and baking soda.  Now combine the flour mixture and butter mixture until well mixed.  Add in the dark chocolate chips and stir with a spoon (do not use your mixer, the dough is already mixed enough!).  Now just roll up 1/2 - 3/4 inch balls and place about an inch apart on a non-stick cookie sheet.  The cookies are done when they are a nice golden brown, usually about 15 minutes, depending on the size of the balls you made.  Using this recipe, I got about 3 dozen cookies.  Enjoy as always!!! :)
