Chocolate Chip Cookies



This is a Lion House dessert recipe. It makes 5 to 6 dozen cookies.
Chocolate Chip Cookies
1 3/4 cups softened butter
1 3/4 cups brown sugar
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
4 eggs
5 1/2 tablespoons water
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
6 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons soda
3 cups chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lina a cookie sheet with wax paper. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugars. Add eggs, water, and vanilla and mix until creamy. Add the flour, slat, and soda. Mix well. Gently fold in chocolate chips, mixing only until chips are evenly distributed. (Overmixing results in broken chips and discolored dough.) Drop by spoonfuls onto prepared cookie sheet. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown.
