Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
3/4 tsp. salt
16 Tbs. (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla extract
12 oz. valentine chocolate chips*
Directions:
Preheat an oven to 350°F. Spray a cookie sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Over a sheet of waxed paper, sift together the flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the flat beater, beat the butter on medium-low speed until smooth, about 30 seconds. Add the brown and granulated sugars, increase the speed to medium and beat until slightly fluffy, about 1 minute, stopping the mixer occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then beat in the vanilla, stopping the mixer occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Reduce the speed to low, gradually add the flour mixture and beat until just combined. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the chocolate chips. Drop the dough by rounded tablespoonfuls onto the prepared pan, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart. Bake until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let the cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to the rack and let cool completely. Repeat with the remaining dough. Makes 36 cookies

So we just use semi sweet choc. chips instead of these colored ones but I swear these cookies turn out every single time!! I wont use anything else now... THEY ARE SO YUMMY
