Thank You Cookies: Classic Chocolate Chippers

This weekend was a whirlwind at the airport. I flew out to Colorado unexpectedly, and dropped the pup off with my parents as well, in anticipation for this week's honeymoon. I grabbed a ride from my parents' next door neighbor as they were unable to pick me up at the airport. Airport rides mean a lot to me actually. They are always so out of the way, and it's such an inconvenience for everyone involved trying to get there. So, we made him some of the old, classic Betty Crocker chocolate chip cookies as a thank you. You cannot go wrong with this recipe and I had fun making it!

Thank You Cookies: Betty Crocker's Chocolate Chippers

Ingredients:
½ cup butter
½ cup granulated white sugar
¼ cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup sifted all-purpose flour
¾ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chip pieces



Cream butter, sugars egg and vanilla until light and fluffy. Sift together dry ingredients; stir into creamed mixture; blend well. Add chocolate chips.


Drop from teaspoon, two inches apart on a greased cookie sheet. Bake in moderate oven at 375 degrees 10-12 minutes. Remove from sheet immediately and place on cooling rack. Makes 3 dozen — unless you’re me and make massive cookies. Then it will make about 1 dozen. ☺


It might actually be smart to make two dozen (note my two softening butters) as you will want to eat some. Trust me.
