Chocolate chip cookies!

There are vey few things that make me so excited to make from scratch! And these are one of them!! They are not for the faint of heart! I have made them with Splenda sugar and brown sugar as well to cut down on the sugar and calories and they turned out just as amazing! It makes such a big batch I would say at least 6-7 dozen that I scoop them and freeze them! I will show you what I use at the end! I have used my kitchen aid mixer since I got it. But I have also used a hand mixer.

Now for the recipe:
2 sticks of butter(room temp)
2 sticks of margarine(room temp)
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup light brown sugar
1 cup dark brown sugar
2 1/2 tsp vanilla
6 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp baking soda
2 12 oz bags chocolate chips

1st let the margarine and butter sit out until at room temp and soft.
Then cream butter and sugar for about 3 min.
Add vanilla and eggs cream for another 3 min.
Add dry ingredient until combined. I usually add all and only 1 cup of flour then add in a cup at a time. Otherwise you have a big flour explosion on your hands!
Then add chocolate chips.

Bake at 375 for 9-12 mins.

Now I use a scoop to make mine. I scoop them out at put them on a baking mat or foil. Foil makes for less clean up! They should look golden brown when finished. Once I have made all the cookies I want I scoop the rest into pans and put them into the freezer until firm. After that I put them in a freezer bag. All you have to do when you are ready to use them out of the freezer is preheat the oven, put then on the pan, bake and enjoy! The whole process to make them usually takes about 30-45 mins. I have also made them with nuts and peanut butter chips. I used the peanut butter chocolate chips. Or once I made them with 1 bag chocolate chips and 1 bag peanut butter chips. I also use semi-sweet the batter is very sweet so you dont really need a chip with a lot of sugar.

Enjoy! And feel free to ask if you have any questions!
