Ooey-Gooey Tollhouse Cookies

Ingredients:

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups chocolate morsels

Directions:

1.  Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

2.  Combine flour, baking soda and salt in a small bowl.

3.  Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract in large bowl until creamy.  Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.  Gradually beat in flour mixture.  Stir in morsels.

4.  Drop by rounded tablespoon onto ungreased baking sheets.

5.  Bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.  Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes.

Makes about 60 cookies.


These classic cookies are my all-time favorite, go-to cookie recipes.  The ooey-gooey chocolate chip cookies are the perfect things to satisfy any sweet tooth.

Dipped in milk or just eaten plain, these cookies never disappoint.  I made them over the weekend just for fun and they lasted a total of 24-hours in my house.  They are just too hard to resist!

They also serve as a great air freshener.  The aroma that emerges from the oven when these cookies are baking is enough to spark any appetite.

Send them to a relative, make them for a friend, or even for yourself!

If you really want to impress people, buy some vanilla ice cream and make mini chipwiches.  Just sandwich two cookies together with ice cream in the middle.  Or, serve the ice cream over the hot cookies right after they come out of the oven.  The possibilities are endless when it comes to different ways to prepare these cookies.

Try to resist the urge to eat all the cookie dough!  We don't want any upset stomachs that can't enjoy the homemade cookies!
