How to Make My Fave Chocolate Chip Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened margarine and ¾ cup packed light brown sugar and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract. Mix well.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour (or substitute 1 ½ cups all-purpose and 1 cup whole wheat flour for chewier cookies), 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in 2 cups chocolate chips.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto ungreased baking sheets.
  8. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Enjoy! (But try to wait until they're cool... if you can!)
