Mrs. Fields Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup C & H dark brown sugar (firmly packed)
1/2 cup white sugar
1 cup cold salted butter, cut into cubes
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 cups (12 oz.) semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 300° F.
2. In a medium bowl combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix well with a wire whisk.
3. In a large bowl, with an electric mixer blend the sugars at medium speed.
4. Add the cold butter and mix to form a grainy paste, scraping down the sides of the bowl. Add eggs and vanilla extract and mix at low to medium speed just until blended. Do not over mix.
5. Add the flour mix and chocolate chips and blend at a low speed just until mixed. Do not over mix.
6. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto an ungreased cookie sheet, two inches apart.
7. Bake 20-22 minutes until golden. Transfer cookies immediately to a cool surface with a spatula. You can line sheets with parchment and transfer to a cold surface to do it faster.

Makes 30-36 cookies, depending on the size of your scoops.
