Milk Chocolate Chip Cookies

Directions

1. Cream softened butter, sugar, and brown sugar in a stand mixer or by hand. Then add vanilla and mix in the egg.
2. Add the flour, salt, and baking soda to the creamed ingredients and stir or mix until the cookie dough is well mixed. Then add the milk chocolate chips in and mix until the chocolate chips are blended in evenly. I prefer to use Ghiradelli Milk Chocolate Chips.
3. Use a cookie scoop to form 1" or 2" balls and bake on a cookie sheet or baking stone at 350 degrees (preheat the oven) for 10-12 minutes. Don't over bake them. I like mine soft so I take them out just before they start to turn brown on the top. They should be soft and chewy.
4. Once removed from the oven, take a wide rimmed glass or biscuit cutter and swirl the hot cookie around the inside of the rim of the glass or biscuit cutter to get a perfectly round cookie. This is optional of course but I like them to all be uniform. Remove the cookies from the baking sheet and let them cool on a baking rack.
