Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

I have searched for years for a great chewy chocolate chip cookie recipe. I've tried at least five different recipes over the years, but have never been overly pleased with any of them. But then I found this one! YUM!

3/4 cup butter (room temperature)
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 tsp vanilla
3 eggs

Beat these all together with an electric beater until smooth.

2 cups flour (see the note at the bottom of the post)
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 cup chocolate chips

Add these ingredients and mix all together. Of course, I put in more chocolate chips than the recipe calls for. Bake at 375 F for 8-12 minutes, depending on how large you make them. They are perfect!


NOTE: If you are using all-purpose flour, you may want to use 2 1/4 cups of flour.
         If you are using bread & pastry flour, you will want to use about 2 3/4 cups of flour.
         If you are using blending flour, you will want to use only 2 cups of flour.
