Vanilla Rich Chocolate Chip Cookies

I got this recipe out of a magazine years ago.  They are so yummy.  I love how you can totally taste the vanilla and it is good stuff, Real Vanilla.  Makes the cookies "pop" a little.

Vanilla Rich Chocolate Chip Cookies

3 1/4 - 4 cups flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 1/3 cup butter ~ softened

1 1/4 cup sugar

1 cup brown sugar ~ packed

2 eggs

4 teaspoon real vanilla

1 package semi-sweet chips

Mix flour, baking soda and salt in medium bowl.  In separate bowl, beat butter and sugars together on medium speed, until light and fluffy.  Add in eggs and vanilla.  Mix well.  Gradually add in flour mixture, on low speed, and mix till well blended. {add in extra flour 1/4 cup at a time, if needed}  Stir in chocolate chips. 

Drop by rounded tablespoons about 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheet. 

Bake at 375 degrees for 8-10  minutes, or until cookies are lightly golden.
