for content
is the wealth
of nature."

(aka Grandma Janice)
  • 1-1/4 sticks softened butter
  • 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1-1/4 cups (7.5 oz) semisweet chocolate chips


Prep:
Put a rack in middle of oven and preheat oven to 400 degrees [375 degrees optional].

Beat together butter, sugar, egg and vanilla in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes. In a separate bowl mix the flower, salt & soda together. Then add flour to mixing bowl and blend at low speed until just combines. Fold in chocolate chips.

Cooking:
Drop barely rounded 1/2 teaspoons of dough about 1-1/2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Parchment paper works best. Bake in batches until golden brown, 5-7 minutes per batch. Transfer cookies to racks to cool.

Note:
These smaller than usual cookies are exquisite and almost jewel-like. You can pop one into your mouth without even taking a bite out of it. Yum . . .

Temp: 375-400° degrees
Bake Time: 5-7 minutes [per batch]
Yield: 8 dozen/96 cookies [approximately]
