Alissa's Chocolate Chip Cookies

These cookies from the kitchen of Alissa Allen turn out great every time. I like this method of whisking the eggs then adding the other ingredients - perhaps it’s what makes a difference. These turn out slightly crispy on the outside and chewy in the middle - perfect!
Alissa and her husband Dave recently moved back to Idaho after living in John Day part time. I know many people will miss them - and Alissa’s cookies!

2 eggs
3/4 C. salted butter (1 ½ sticks), melted
1 C. white sugar
1 C. brown sugar
2 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
3 C. flour
1 bag chocolate chips

Whisk eggs. Add butter, sugars and vanilla. In a separate bowl stir flour, baking soda and salt with fork - or sift. Gradually stir into butter mixture. Add chocolate chips. Bake at 375 F for 10-12 minutes.

Tips: Let butter cool slightly before adding to eggs, and stir up your flour before measuring it out. If you prefer, use fewer chocolate chips.
