Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies

Everyone loves chocolate chip cookies and if you are like me, the dough is good too!  I have perfected the chocolate chip cookie recipe and hope you will agree! 

3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 brown sugar
1 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
12 ounces chocolate chips

Heat oven to 375 degrees.  Mix sugars, butter, egg and vanilla.  Stir in flour, baking soda and salt.  The dough will be stiff.

Drop by rounded tablespoons, about 2 inches a apart on ungreased cookie sheet.  Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until light brown.  Centers will be soft, so let set on cookie sheet a minute or so before removing.  Let cookies cool on cooling racks.  Makes about 4 dozen cookies.
