Chocolate Chip Cookies

 

This is the recipe that I always use for any variation of chocolate chip cookies and it always turns out perfectly! 

1 cup margarine or shortening

3/4 cup white sugar

3/4 cup brown sugar

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp hot water

2 eggs

1 tsp salt

1-2 tsp vanilla

2 1/4 cup flour

2 cups chocolate chips

 

Cream margarine and sugars together until light and fluffy. Add remaining ingredients successively one by one (you can mix baking soda and water or just pour one on top of the other in the mixing bowl), beating well. Spoon onto cookie sheet. Bake 8-10 minutes at 375º

You can add any type of chips or M&Ms to these cookies. The cookies shown here are half Reese's chips and half milk chocolate.
