Bruya Chocolate Chip Cookies

I've never thought of myself as having cookie making secrets, however a few friends have recently asked me how I make such good cookies...always. So here is a typical recipe along with a few of my secret tips.

Using a stand mixer, slowly combine 1 ingredient at a time:

1 c. (2 sticks) butter (soften 5-10 minutes)

3/4 c. sugar

3/4 c. light brown sugar

2 t. vanilla

2 eggs

Combine & slowly add a little at a time:

2 1/4 c. flour

1 t. baking soda

1/2 t. salt

Add:

2 c. chocolate chips

375 degrees 9-11 minutes. If cookies are flat & run, add a little more flour (I add 1/16 cup, if it still runs add another 1/16 cup, etc.). If you soften the butter too long the dough sometimes runs.
