Chocolate Chip Cookies

I always knew I was grandma's favorite when she baked chocolate chip cookies and brought them to me at college (wink, wink!). 

1 cup butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup white sugar
2 eggs
2 Tbsp hot water
1 tsp vanilla
2 1/2 cup flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda


Cream together butter and sugars.  Add eggs, water and vanilla.  Sift flour, salt and soda and add dry ingredients to the wet ones. 

Drop by the teaspoonful onto a baking sheet.  Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes.  Makes 60 cookies
