Note: It has taken (literally) years for MeeMom to find a chocolate chip cookie recipe that works for her. This is THE recipe! Enjoy.
MeeMom's Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe
2 cups butter (no substituting)
1 1/2 cup brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla
1/4 teaspoon almond oil (or 1/2-1 teaspoon almond extract)
4 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 cups chocolate chips (DooDad prefers milk chocolate chips)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Cream together butter and sugars until creamy. Add eggs, vanilla and almond oil. Add dry ingredients: flour, salt, and soda. Mix until incorporated into dough. Mix in chocolate chips.
Make cookie dough balls the size of golf balls. Place 2x3 on an ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake 8-10 minutes on until golden brown. Remove from pan and let cool on cookie rack . . . if they last that long!
