Chocolate Chip Cookies
My bakery-style cookies feature golden brown edges with an ooey and gooey center!FOOD FACT: The creation of chocolate chip cookies was an accident! Dietician Ruth Graves Wakefield ran out of baker’s chocolate and instead substituted broken pieces of Nestlé semisweet chocolate, expecting it to melt. She lived in and prepared recipes in a tourist lodge named the Toll House Inn.

- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup butter
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup firmly packed light brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

- Preheat the oven to 375°F. In a medium bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, and salt and set aside. Beat the butter and sugars in a large bowl until fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract and beat well. Gradually beat in the dry ingredients. Stir in the chocolate chips.Drop tablespoons of the dough on an ungreased cookie sheet.
