Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies


These classic chocolate chip cookies came out perfect.  They are chewy in the middle and crisp on the outside.  These are thinner chocolate chip cookies too which I tend to favor.  I also tasted the cookie dough and it was delicious.  If your cookie dough doesn't taste right, your cookies won't either.  Overall, this is a great classic chocolate chip cookie recipe.  I enjoyed a couple of cookies with a glass of milk; these cookies make for great dunking too!

Sift together flour, salt, and baking soda.  Slowly add to creamed mixture, half a cup at a time.
