Beat together:
1 lb butter (or 1/2 butter, 1/2 butter flavored shortening)
2 c brown sugar
1-1/2 c white sugar
Beat in:
2 Tablespoon vanilla
3 eggs
Add in:
about 5-1/2 c flour
1-1/2 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 teaspoon baking soda
After mixed add in 1 bag (4c) chocolate chips of choice
Refrigerate dough 1-2 hours or overnight (seem to cook better chilled). Drop 1 small ice cream scoop of dough on cookie sheet. Bake 325 for about 12-15 minutes. I like to take them out just as they start turning brown. They might not look like they are completely done but they will firm up as cooled down. If they have spread too much use your spatula to shape them into circles as soon as they come out of oven.
Enjoy
