Chocolate Chip Cookies




These cookies are so yummy that my husband (Jacob) doesn't like it when they leave the house! The first time I made these was soon after Jacob and I were married. It became one of our favorites very quickly. These are very special chocolate chip cookies. I've tried many different kind of chocolate chips but always seem to come back to the ghirardelli milk chocolate chips.



Ingredients

1 c. butter
2/3 c. oil
1 c. brown sugar
1 c. white sugar
1 egg
1 Tbsp. milk
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
4 c. flour
12 oz chocolate chips
1/2 c. chopped nuts (opt.)


Directions

Cream butter , oil and sugars. Add egg, milk and vanilla. Add salt and baking soda mix well. Then add flour a little at a time. Mix well. Add Chocolate Chips and nuts if you like. Line cookie sheets with wax paper or tin foil. Drop by teaspoonsfuls or with a scoop onto cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for 9 min ( may need a min or two more, but cookies should look almost like they are not done yet). Try not to move them until they have cooled a little . This is why wax paper or tin foil is nice to have because you can just slide the cookies on the paper gently off the cookie sheet.
