The Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookie

Ingredients:

2 Sticks REAL Butter
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 egg
2 tsp vanilla
2 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
12 - 14 oz. bag of chocolate chunks or chips OR M&M's

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream butter and sugars. Add egg and vanilla and blend well. Mix flour, baking soda and salt in separate bowl; then add gradually to other mixture and blend well. Add chunks (chips or M&M's) and chopped walnuts. Shape about 2 Tbsp of dough into a ball and place on ungreased cookie sheet. (x12 -- or x8 -- or however many fit on your cookie sheet.)Flatten each ball slightly with fingers to about 1/2" thickness. Reshape dough into circle if needed (sometimes with the chips/chunks/nuts, the cookies tend to loose the circle shape. Bake for 6-7 minutes.

Now. . . check the cookies - if they still have the appearance of gooey'ness or liquid centers, bake them for another 60 seconds and check again. You do not want to take them out while they are still gooey, but you do want to remover them from the oven while they look "underbaked." Allow the cookies to continue "baking" on top of the warm oven on the cookie sheet for several minutes. These cookies stay chewy for many days in an airtight container.
