My cute Lexie is turning into quite the baker!  She makes these amazing desserts and we all love her for it. These cookies are so delicious!  They're soft, chocolatey, and super yummy!  Enjoy!

Recipe yields about 2 dozen cookies

Ingredients:

-2 sticks (1 cup) salted butter, at room temperature

-1 cup sugar

-1/2 cup packed brown sugar

-1 Tbs vanilla extract

-2 large eggs

-1 tsp baking soda

-1/2 tsp salt

-3 cups flour

-1 1/2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper and set aside.

In your mixer's bowl, beat the butter and sugars until smooth. Add the vanilla and eggs. Mix really well. Add baking soda, salt, and flour, half of cup at the time. The dough will be slightly crumbly.

Using your hands, add the chocolate chips and mix well.

Remove sheets onto wire racks to cool. YUM! Enjoy!
