She's Crafty: The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies

Some days, a chocolate chip cookie is in order!!

I use the BEST recipe.

It's from a ward cookbook

(aren't ward cook books always full of the best tried and true recipes)

from when I lived in Utah. So yum!

The BEST Chocolate Chip Cookies (by Nick Cutler)

1 lb margarine or butter 1 tsp salt

2 c. brown sugar 1 tsp baking soda

1 1/2 c. white sugar 3 eggs

6 c. flour 2 tsp vanilla

6c. chocolate chips

Cream wet ingredients and add dry ingredients.
Mix well. Add chocolate chips.
Drop onto greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350* from 10-12 minutes.

I usually cut the recipe in half and

am still left with about 4 dozen cookies or so.

That is a lot of cookies for me to eat.

My family only eats 1-2 cookies a piece and

I can't resist them and always eat way too many.

So unless I share with the neighbors or

(gasp) throw out stale cookies,

I usually have about this much dough left after cookies my 2 batches.

'So I decided to start freezing it!

I scoop it onto a cookie sheet.

Then pop the entire thing into the freezer.

After they are frozen solid,

I put them into a freezer bag and stick that in the freezer.

So when the next time a craving for choco chip cookies hits,

I'm prepared.

The frozen cookies can be placed directly

onto a cookie sheet and put into the oven.

Just add a few extra minutes to the cook time.

Very handy to have on hand for a last minute treat!!
