Comfort Food - Chocolate Chip Cookies

I LOVE chocolate chip cookies.. I mean I really love chocolate chip cookies.. They are the ultimate of comfort foods..

Do you have a favorite comfort food? 
Here is my favorite cookie receipe!

Ingredients:
1/2 cup of unsalted butter - softened
1/3 cup dark brown sugar - firmly packed
1/3 cup of white sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1 cup - plus 2 tablespoons of sifted flour
1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
1/2 teaspoon of salt
7-1/2 ounce package of chocolate chips
(Now I mix half and half of dark chocolate chips and white chocolate chips, but that's just me)
- also I have substituted 3/4 cup of walnuts and dried fruit instead of chocolate chips and they are SUPER tasty.

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375F.  Lightly grease two large baking sheets with butter or vegetable shortening (now I use no need to grease cookie sheets)
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and the sugars.
Beat in the egg and vanilla.
Mix well!
Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt.
Gradually add flour mixture to the batter.
Add chocolate chips

Drop rounded teaspoonfuls of batter onto the baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until cookies have browned around the edges.

Let cool and enjoy!

Blog Tour: Romancing the Countess by Ashley March

About the book: Sebastian Madinger, the Earl of Wriothesly, thought he'd married the perfect woman-until a fatal accident revealed her betrayal with his best friend. After their deaths, Sebastian is determined to avoid a scandal for the sake of his son. But his best friend's widow is just as determined to cast her mourning veil aside by hosting a party that will surely destroy both their reputations and expose all of his carefully kept secrets... Leah George has carried the painful knowledge of her husband's affair for almost a year.
