Chocolate Chip Cookies

This is a Savage family classic and every kid in our family knows the recipe by heart.  Again if you notice in the picture there are ones with chocolate chips  and some without. If you don't remember, I am allergic to chocolate so I'm always dechoclafying things. Can you even imagine chocolate chip cookies without the choclate chips?  These taste great because of the real butter and the DARK brown sugar so don't trade these ingredients for other alternatives like margarine or light brown sugar, because its what make them good!

1 cup butter softened
1 cup DARK brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 1/4 flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 bag of chocolate chips (we use milk chocolate)

Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees
Mix butter, sugars until creamy add eggs and vanilla then stir
then add flour, baking soda and salt then mix all together and add chocolate chips (optional)
put in oven for approx. 7 min. DO NOT OVER BAKE!
{We use a convection oven set at 375 which automatically decreases to 350 degrees and bake for 7 min. We then allow them to sit on pan for a few minetes after taking them out of the oven.  This makes them the perfectly soft, yummy cookie with or without chocolate chips!}
