The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies Ever!

This recipe is from Nestle's website (http://www.verybestbaking.com/).  These cookies are the best chocolate chip cookies ever!  These cookies are a standby in my kitchen.  My kids consume them hot out of the oven.  These cookies have seen many a cottage, sleepovers, road trips, etc.


Tip: this recipe is for JUMBO Chocolate Chip Cookies.  I use the recipe below but drop them by the teaspoon and bake at 350° F for 10 minutes.  For rounder cookies (less flat), refrigerate dough before baking.

Ingredients:

3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup cake flour (or 1 cup less 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cups butter (we recommend LAND O LAKES® Butter), softened
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1 1/4 ups packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 cups (12-oz. pkg.) NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels, or chunks


Directions:
Preheat oven to 375° F.

Combine all purpose flour, cake flour, baking powder and baking soda in a medium bowl. Combine butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl. Beat until creamy. Add eggs and vanilla extract. Beat until well mixed. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in morsels. Drop dough by level 1/4 cup measure 2 inches apart onto baking sheets.

Bake for 10 to 14 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.
Nothing beats the aroma of freshly baked cookies.
They should really bottle this smell somehow....

Warm, chocolately cookies served with a cold glass of milk.  Yummy!
Doesn't it want to make you go and bake right now?
