3 ¾ cup Flour
1 ½ tsp Baking Soda
¾ tsp Salt
1 ½ cup butter or Margarine, softened
2 ¼ cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 tsp Vanilla
3 Eggs
1 bag chocolate chips



Sift together flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside. Beat butter, brown sugar and vanilla on medium speed until creamy. Beat in egg, mix well. Add flour mixture, beat slowly to incorporate, then beat to blend well. Add up to ½ cup extra flour if dough is too gooey. Stir in chocolate chips. Drop 2 TBLS portions onto a baking sheet. Bake at 400° for 6-7 minutes. If there are 2 pans in one over, switch at halftime. Cool on pan for about 5 minutes. Cookies are done if brown around edges and a 1-inch circle is still pale.

***you can also add white chocolate chips, M&M’s, etc.
