Chocolate Chip Cookies (1)

Source: Rock Recipes with little changes (A crispy and chewy type chocolate chip cookies)

Ingredients:

1 1/3 cups flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 cup butter, softened

1/2 cup light brown sugar

1/2 cup sugar ( i used 1/4 cup fine sugar )

1 egg ( i used small size )

1 teaspoon vanilla extract or butterscotch flavouring ( or both )

8 oz semisweet chocolate chips

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350F (170C).  Lightly spray one cookie sheet with spray oil or line with parchment paper.

In a medium sized bowl whisk together flour, salt and baking soda.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.  Add the egg and vanilla and combine thoroughly.

Add the flour mixture to the sweetened butter.  Mix only enough to incorporate flour.  Do not over mix.  Fold in the chocolate chips.

Form cookies by dropping  rounded teaspoon of dough on the prepared cookie sheet two inches apart.

Bake until light brown around the edges, about 12-15 minutes, depending on cookie size.

Over baking is the biggest problem with most chocolate chip cookies. 

Your oven temperature and the type of cookie sheet you use will vary the baking times considerably. 

When they are golden brown around the edges is the time to remove them from the oven.

Thinking they are a little underdone is probably a good thing.

Experiment by baking only a couple of cookies at a time to see what the perfect baking time is for your oven.

Cool for 10 minutes on the baking sheet before removing to a wire rack to cool thoroughly.

I prefer mine to be little brown but not over bake.
