Best Chocolate Chip Cookies Ever!

I can't even explain how much I love chocolate chip cookies. Just give me a glass of milk to drink along with it and man I am there! This recipe makes the most perfect chocolate chip cookie! I had the kids helping make them yesterday so we made some of them with caramel and some with chocolate but left most of them non filled:)
Chocolate Chip Cookies
1 stick plus 6 tbsp unsalted room temp butter
1 3/4 cups packed light brown sugar
2 eggs
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
3 cups all purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
2 1/2 tsp baking soda
8oz chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 325.
Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
Cream butter and sugar together, cream till light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time. Scrape any unmixed ingredients off the side between each egg. Turn down the mixer and add the vanilla. Add the flour, salt, and baking soda and mix well until smooth. Stir in chocolate chips. Drop 12 equal amounts of cookie dough on each cookie sheet. Bake in preheated oven for about 10 minutes. Let cookies cool before transferring to a wire rack.

Yield: about 3 1/2 dozen
