The younger brother and I made chocolate chip cookies for our trip last weekend. They turned out to be about the best cookies we'd e.v.e.r. had! Here's our recipe...

1 cup butter softened
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
3 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons hot water
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups chocolate chips
1 cup chopped nuts, optional
(we didn't use any this time)


:: cream butter and sugars ::


:: beat in eggs, one at a time ::


:: stir in vanilla ::
:: dissolve baking soda in hot water. add to batter along with salt ::
:: stir in flour, chocolate chips and nuts ::



:: place balls, about 1 inch in diameter on cookie sheets ::


:: bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes ::
::ENJOY::


:: be sure to try just a pinch of dough and at least 1 cookie as soon as it comes out of the oven! ::

Mmm! It's been awhile since we've made any chocolate chip cookies; maybe I can get one of my little brothers to make these for us! :)
