Basic Cookie Recipe

The original recipe that this recipe took root from was Alexis's Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe from Martha Stewart.com it has been changed to what it is today and I think it is pretty amazing! So here it is.. my favorite basic cookie recipe...

2 c. butter (softened)
1 c. sugar
3 c. brown sugar
4 eggs
2 tsp. madagascar vanilla
4 2/3 c. flour
2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt


Combine butter and sugars until smooth the add each egg separately mixing after each then add vanilla. Combine flour, soda and salt in a separate container once mixed well add to the butter mixture. Mix well but don't over mix. Now here's the fun part... you can now add 1 1/2 c. of milk chocolate chips or my newest favorite.. 1 1/2 c. white chocolate chips and 1 cup chopped walnuts or even better.. 1 1/2c. chunky peanut butter.. they make a wonderful peanut butter cookie I just roll the spoonful of dough into balls and then dust with sugar smash with a fork and cook instead of dropping a spoonful on to a greased pan and cook at 350 for about 5-10 minutes.. I must admit.. I am terrible and never time mine or count how many they make because I am too busy eating.. Good luck and Enjoy!
