DIRECTIONS
Cream together melted butter, sugars, eggs and vanilla. Add salt, baking soda, and flour. Mix well. Stir in chocolate chips. Bake 10 minutes at 350 F. Do not over bake. (I take them out even if they do not look quite done, as long as the bottoms are golden brown.

This recipe makes a large batch of cookie dough. Try dividing the dough in half and making two separate batches of cookies. If you're feeling a bit daring, make three or four smaller batches.

Here are some ideas to get you going:
*
