Sometimes there is nothing better than a chocolate chip cookie.  I used to make them all the time when I was little- starting from scratch with the recipe on the back of the Nestle Toll House yellow bag.  So great.  Of course, eating the dough was my favorite part, but warm chocolate chip cookies are so delicious- there is not much better.  They stand alone well, they go well with a glass of milk, some vanilla ice cream, whip cream- it’s all good.  Some people add walnuts to theirs, and while that is still a great cookie, I prefer no nuts.  Here is a fantastic recipe for truly the perfect chocolate chip cookie!

Cream together the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Dissolve baking soda in hot water. Add to batter along with salt. Stir in flour and chocolate chips. Drop by large spoonfuls onto ungreased pans.
Bake for about 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until edges are nicely browned.
