Tips & Techniques

  • High Altitude (3500-6500 ft):

    Bake 9-11 min.

  • Tip

    Since this is a big-batch recipe, freeze half of the dough. Drop the dough by spoonfulls on a cookie sheet and freeze. Once the mounds of dough are frozen, place them in an airtight container and freeze. When it's time to bake the cookies, add about 5 minutes to compensate for the frozen dough.

  • Tip

    Package 1 or 2 cookies in small snack bags to tuck into school lunch bags.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4  cups granulated sugar
  • 1 1/4  cups packed brown sugar
  • 1 1/2  cups butter or margarine, softened
  • 2  teaspoons vanilla

  • 4 1/4  cups all-purpose flour
  • 2  teaspoons baking soda
  • 1/2  teaspoon salt
  • 1  to 2 bags (12 oz each) semisweet chocolate chips (2 to 4 cups)

Directions

  1. 1Heat oven to 375°F. In large bowl with electric mixer, beat granulated sugar, brown sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla and eggs until well blended. Beat in flour, baking soda and salt. Stir in chocolate chips.
  2. 2On ungreased cookie sheets, drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart.
  3. 3Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks.

These were the most perfect chocolate chip cookies I have ever made. I mixed them very very well, and between each egg. Yum!

This is not the original Betty Crocker recipe. The BC recipe calls for shortening AND butter, not just butter.
