3 c Brown sugar; firmly packed

Alexis Stewart developed this chocolate-chip cookie recipe for her
mother, Martha, when she was twelve years old. Best enjoyed with a
cold glass of milk, these flat buttery cookies combine perfect
amounts of crunch and chewiness. Use an ice-cream scoop to make
evenly sized cookies. If cookies harden before you have a chance to
remove them from the baking sheet, return the sheet to the oven for a
few seconds to soften the dough for easier removal.
1. Heat oven to 375 B0. Cream butter until smooth; add sugars. Beat
in eggs and vanilla. Sift together dry ingredients, and slowly beat
into wet mixture. Fold in chocolate-chips. Chill dough until firm,
at least
15 minutes.
2. Drop 2 to 3 tablespoons chilled batter per cookie onto a
well-greased baking sheets lined with baking mats or parchment; space
batter about 2 inches apart for spreading. Bake 8 to 10 minutes,
until golden. Remove from baking sheets, and allow to cool on baking
racks.
