Ghirardeli Chocolate Chip Cookies

3 cups flour
1 t. baking soda
½ t. salt
1 cup (2 sticks) butter
¾ cup sugar
¾ cup brown sugar
2 eggs
2 t. vanilla
1 bag of chocolate chips

Combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside
Cream butter, sugars, eggs, and vanilla
Slowly blend with dry ingredients and add chocolate chips
Drop tsp size balls onto greased cookie sheet
Cook 8-12 mins or until they almost look done (if you like them chewy, otherwise wait until slightly golden brown on top)
I usually double the recipe (8 dozen small) and freeze the remaining batter for later. Yields 4 dozen
