Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookies

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare ungreased cookie sheets.
In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together margarine, white sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and fluffy.
Beat in eggs, one at a time, into the sugar mixture. Stir in vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until well combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared cookie sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned.
Cool the cookies on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

These cookies are perfect for freezing. Make a batch, enjoy some fresh, and freeze the rest for later indulgence during the week. Just be sure to store them in an airtight container or freezer bag to maintain freshness.

For an extra flavor boost, try using unsalted butter instead of margarine.
Don’t overmix the dough once you’ve added the flour mixture to avoid tough cookies.
Experiment with different types of chocolate chips or add nuts for added texture and flavor.
