Naturally Eccentric

This is not my recipe but I’ve used it for years.  Salty, sweet, crispy, chewy, buttery, chocolate goodness.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup softened butter
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 1/2 cup packed golden brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 egg
• 1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Directions:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees

Cream butter and sugar together until smooth

Add in vanilla and egg, one at a time.  Mix until smooth.

Add in flour, salt and baking soda.  Mix until combined

Stir in chocolate chips.

Drop batter in spoonfuls onto a baking sheet about 2 inches apart

Bake between 10 to 12 minutes.

Let the cookies sit on the sheet for 2 to 3 minutes.

Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
