Beat these ingredients together:
2 sticks butter (1 cup butter)
(Make sure the butter is cold. Slice it up before mixing.)
3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 granulated sugar
1 overflowing tsp. of real vanilla
ADD two eggs. Beat well.
Mix together:
2 1/4 cups flour
(plus 1/2 Tablespoon flour if it's humid out or your kitchen is very warm)
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
Add flour mixture to butter mixture. Beat well. Add 2 overflowing cups of quality chocolate chips. Mix on low.
Drop by teaspoons onto parchment-lined baking pans. Bake at 375 degrees for about 10 to 12 minutes or until light golden brown.
Cool cookies and freeze immediately.
(Immediately after they cool on the counter, I put them into freezer bags. Freezing the cookies is an important step because it sets up the chocolate. When the cookie is thawed the chocolate stays firm. I lay them flat in the freezer so as not to break the cookies. You can freeze cookies quite awhile, but I will only freeze cookies for one or two weeks at the most.)
