-1 teaspoon salt.

-1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
-3/4 cup of white sugar
-1 cup packed brown sugar.
-2 eggs
-1 bag of semisweet or milk chocolate morsels.
Combine flour, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. For best results,
sift the ingredients together.
In another bowl, add softened butter, sugars, vanilla and eggs. Mix
thoroughly.
Gradually stir flour mix into butter mixture and stir about 2 minutes.
Gradually stir in chocolate.
Spoon out about 2 tablespoons of the mixture onto a baking sheet. Try
to form balls with the mixture.

the sheet, placing them about 1 inch apart.
Bake at 350 degrees for 10-14 minutes, or until golden brown.

time will make the cookies more crisp.
