Our Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookies

I have been making the boys chocolate chip cookies for years and i finally found the best recipe ever on smittenkitchen.com. (one of my favorite cooking blogs) You can add different kinds of chocolate chips and nuts or add m&ms...whatever your kids like. I usually make half with just chocolate chips and half with both chocolate chips and nuts. Its chewy on the inside and crispy on the outside...cookie perfection.

Chocolate chip cookies

1 cup butter cold but cut into small pieces

1 cup packed brown sugar

1 cup white sugar

2 eggs

1 tsp baking soda

2 tsp vanilla

1 tsp flaky sea salt

2 1/2 cups flour

2 1/2 cups chocolate chips

1 1/2 cup nuts (toasted and chopped)-use less if you are only putting nuts in half the recipe

Preheat oven to 350. Cream together butter and sugars. Add eggs, vanilla and baking soda. Then add flour and salt. Mix together well and then add chocolate chips and nuts. Scoop into balls with a cookie scoop and bake until pale golden brown. Its about 12-14 min in my oven.
