Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ok, so I know I haven't posted in about 83290830 years, but you try managing partying and school simultaneously! Seriously. Well, since I managed to score 100% on my Statistics mid-term (dance dance) I decided to share my celebratory cookie recipe. Enjoy!

What you need:
1 c. margarine
3/4 c. white sugar
3/4 c. brown sugar
2 eggs
2-3 t. almond extract
2 1/4 c. flour
1 t. baking soda
1 t. salt
3 c. milk chocolate chips (i.e. 1 1/2 bags... yes that extra half bag makes a difference in d-lish-ousness)

What to do:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease your cookie sheets too so that when they're all mixed up they can go right in the oven. I use Pam Olive Oil spray, but any spray or even margarine works.

In a big bowl, mix together your margarine and sugars (brown and white) until they're creamy, light, and FLUFFY! Then, add the eggs, one at a time. Next add the almond extract and beat some more.

In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, and salt together quickly with a fork. Slowly add the flour mixture to the sugar/butter creamed mixture (I've found that pouring it in approximately in fifths works out pretty well).

Once that is well mixed, gradually add the chocolate chips and mix well.

Drop cookies by rounded teaspoons onto your greased cookie sheets. Bake for 8-10 minutes (8 1/2 makes them perfect in my oven). Let them cool for 5 minutes at least before pulling them off. In the mean time, pour yourself a glass of milk and prepare to be amazed.

Enjoy!
