The softest chocolate chip cookies ever

I have been making these for years. My favorite tried and true recipe! It seems lately I have been making these at least once a week or so. So i thought i would put the recipe on here to share and a few photo directions. Who knows this could become a daily thing when i make food since i seem to experiment a lot with dinner and such.

Preheat oven to 375






I like to use a mixer it makes things much easier!


Gather Up your ingredients. You will need Margarine, white sugar, brown sugar, 1 egg, flour, baking soda, salt and chocolate chips.

Mix Dry ingredients together






Soften Margarine in the microwave.... don't use butter instead i have tried this and they do not taste right at all


Mix in the wet ingredients till thoroughly mixed





Mix in the chocolate chips you might have to set it on a higher speed to get them to the center of the dough

Shape into balls and place 12 balls on a bakers sheet. Do not try this on a thin metal cookie sheet they will burn on the bottom and not come out soft at all. You can pick up these Bakers sheets and any kitchen store or warehouse club.


Careful your family will be in stealing cookie dough as soon as they hear the mixer stop

Set your timer for 12-14 minutes i usually end up with 12 because i like my cookies super soft

They look a little puffy when you pull them out and they are a little brown around the edges but they will soon loose the puffy and look like a normal cookie.




After a minute or so take them off the baking sheet with a spatula and put them on a cooling rack to cool down. As you can see not all 12 of the cookies made it there





I guess i should give you the recipe for them so you can try your family will LOVE these cookies and since i'm being kind enough to share the recipe you can at least give it a try :)
