Chocolate Chip Cookies

There are hundreds of chocolate chip cookie recipes out there but this is the one I keep coming back to time and time again. Everyone has their favourite and this is mine. I have used both the regular size chocolate chips and the mini chips. Both seem to work equally well. Adding a bit of almond extract is a nice touch.


1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp almond extract
1 cup + 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup chocolate chips

Cream butter. Gradually add sugar (both brown and white) and beat until creamy.  Beat in the egg, vanilla and almond extract. In a separate bowl combine flour, salt and baking soda; stir into the creamed mixture. Add the chocolate chips. Drop by teaspoon onto a greased cookie sheet. Space wide apart as they will spread while baking. Bake at 375°F for 10 minutes.
