Clonmel Kitchen Chocolate Chip Cookies

These chocolate chip cookies are flat and chewy.

1 cup + 2 tbsp. butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs (I use extra large.)
2 tsp. vanilla
2 cups, barely, all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
As many chocolate chips as you want.

Preheat oven to 375F.

Cream butter and sugars by hand (an electric mixer whips too much air into the cookie dough.). Beat in the eggs and vanilla; add the flour, baking soda, salt, and stir in the chocolate chips. Drop by tbsp. onto lightly greased, or parchment-lined, cookie sheets, leaving about 2 inches between them. Bake 8 to 12 minutes. Let cool slightly before removing to wire racks to cool. Or, if you have the space, cool the cookies on a bread board.
