With the hand mixer beat the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract in large mixer bowl until creamy as shown in the second picture.

• Add one egg to the creamy mixture made in step 4.
• Using the hand mixer, beat the egg into the mixture well or until it is no longer visible.
• Repeat the above steps with the second egg.

• Take the small bowl of flower, baking soda, and salt from step two.
• Gradually add this dry mixture to the creamy mixture in the large mixing bowl while mixing it continuously with the hand mixer.

Helpful Tip: If you find this hard to do, either ask a friend to add the dry mix as you stir, or add portions of the dry mix while stopping to stir in between additions.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

• By the end of this step ALL ingredients EXCEPT the chocolate morsels should have been used.
• The resulting mixture should be a thick, creamy dough batter as seen in the final picture.

• Pour in the 2 cups of NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels.
• Using a spoon mix the morsels into the dough until they are incorporated evenly throughout as seen in the last photo.

• Scoop tablespoon sized rounds of dough as seen in the first picture.
• Drop these rounded dough balls onto non-greased baking sheets.
• Dough balls should be spaced roughly two inches apart.

Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown.

• When cookies are fully cooked remove the baking sheet from the oven.
• Allow for the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes.
• After those two minutes move the cookies to the a wire rack where they will finish cooling.

• Once cookies are cooled they are ready to be plated and enjoyed!
• Repeat steps 1 through 11 until all your dough has been baked, or freeze it for later.
