Mama King's Chocolate Chip Cookies

I love trying different kinds of chocolate chip cookies. Still…….I always come back to these. This recipe makes a huge amount of cookies. With a big family and lots of friends, these still only last a few days at my house; if that. I have made LOTS of these over the years and still get requests from my kid’s friends to bake a batch when they come over. This is one of my favorites!

2 cups margarine or butter, softened (I love butter, but the margarine makes a much better cookie in this recipe.)
1-1/2 cup sugar
2 cups packed brown sugar
4 whole eggs
2 Tablespoons vanilla (yes, Tablespoons)
1-1/2 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 teaspoon baking soda
6 to 6 1/2 cups flour
2 packages milk chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate chips (I love the milk!)

Preheat oven to 350*. I usually use about 4+ baking sheets to make these. Either spray with non stick spray or use parchment baking sheets on top.
In a mixing bowl, cream margarine and sugars until smooth. Mix in eggs and vanilla. Add chocolate chips. Mix in remaining ingredients to form a soft dough that is not sticky. Spoon with medium cookie scoop onto greased pans. Normally, I am able to get about 20 cookies to a pan. Cook for 11 minutes or until done.
