My Mom's Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookies

I know most people think their Mom is a good cook but I have to tell you, my mom is a better cook than your mom.  Here is her chocolate chip cookie recipe to prove it.

Warning: this makes A LOT of cookies so I either make half of the recipe or I make the entire recipe and then freeze some dough for later.


Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookies


Cream together until well blended:


1 lb. unsalted butter
2 cups dark brown sugar
1 ¼ cup white sugar
4 eggs


Add 3 Tbsp. vanilla


Mix together and then add:


5 ½ cups flour
1 ½ tsp. salt
1 ½ tsp. soda


Add 32 oz. Ghiradelli chocolate chips. (don't skimp on the quality of your chocolate, it makes a huge difference)


Bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes, depending on size of cookies. Watch
so they don’t burn. Cool for a few minutes, then loosen the cookies on the pans
so they don’t stick.


This is a favorite vacation recipe. My mom will often mix up the batter and bring it from
home. Refrigerated, it will keep up to a week and you can have freshly baked
cookies on vacation.
