Chocolate Chip Cookies

From Good Housekeeping

Everyone needs a delicious chocolate chip cookie recipe up their sleeve.  Here’s ours.

Ingredients

1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 large egg s½ cup butter/margarine (1 stick), softened
½ cup packed brown sugar
¼ cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 package (6 oz.) semisweet chocolate chips (1 cup)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375⁰F.
2. In small bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt.
3. In large bowl, with mixer at medium speed, beat butter and brown and regular sugar until light and fluffy.  You can whisk by hand, but it’ll take longer and probably wear your arms out faster! 
4. Beat in egg and vanilla until well combined. 
5. Reduce speed to low, beat in flour mixture just until blended. 
6. Add chips and mix with wooden spoon.
7. Place in rounded drops, 2 inches apart, on cookie sheets.   Cookie sheets can be lined with parchment paper.  No cooking spray required!
8. Bake 10-12 minutes.
