Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies


So then came baking! The O.G. of cookies...personally peanut butter is my favorite but then again you can't deny dark chocolate...it's actually healthy for you...it serves as an antioxidant, lowers blood pressure, has less sugar than milk chocolate, and it contains serotonin which acts as an anti-depressant! Everything in moderation though! ;)

Ingredients:

-1 cup (2 sticks) butter
-3/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
-1/4 cup granulated sugar
-1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-1 large egg
-1/2 teaspoon baking soda
-2 cups flour
-1 package (12 oz.) dark chocolate chips

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Beat butter with sugars in large bowl with electric mixer or wooden spoon until smooth. Beat in vanilla, egg and baking soda. Stir in flour until blended. Stir in chips.

Drop mixture by heaping tablespoonfuls, 2 inches apart, on ungreased baking sheets. Bake 10 minutes or until edges are golden. Cool on cookie sheets 2 minutes.
