what is the best chocolate chip or sugar cookie recipe that you know???

Question

I'm baking cookies for my friends for all that they have done for me. I need a new cookie recipe(s) for either chocolate chip cookies or regular sugar cookies. I'm looking forward to hearing your answers. Thanx for all of your help guys!

Answer 1

I used extra-strong vanilla and used about ½ t extra….and added 2 tablespoons of milk, since the batter was really thick….I also melted the butter before I mixed it with the sugars…and I put larger scoops on the baking sheet than it said to….I made these and brought them to work and everyone was freaking out over them!
