Ok, I am going to give away my secret, I use the recipe on the back of the Chocolate Chips for my cookies. They are the best I have found. Here is the recipe from the Nestlé Toll House web site, with my own comments added in:
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened (If I use salted butter, I almost NEVER add more to my recipe, I omit it when it is called for)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
2 cups (12-oz. pkg.) of Semi Sweet chips (I use the Dillons or Walmart brand most often)
1 cup chopped nuts (only if Alan begs me, I am not a fan of nuts in cookies)
PREHEAT oven to 375° F.
COMBINE flour, baking soda and salt in small bowl. Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract in large mixer bowl until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in morsels and nuts. Drop by rounded tablespoon onto ungreased baking sheets. I use a SilPat for all my baking to help brown the bottoms evenly and help them not stick.
BAKE for 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown. I have found that even for the same batch of cookies it will not be the same bake time, so I always check it around 9 minutes and adjust as needed, for chewy cookies you want them just brown on the edges and still pale in the middle, they will be puffy and then fall after cooling) Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.
