Our 5 Star Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

So far I will have to say, this is my favorite recipe I use for chocolate chip cookies.  This came from a relief society cookbook(at least that is where I found it) I always change the M&M's for the season, and you don't have to use them either.   Milk chocolate chips are nice in this recipe too.
       

 For the cookies you will need:

1lb. (4cubes) butter(do not soften)
2c. Brown sugar
1 1/2c. granulated sugar
Beat together then beat in:
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
3 eggs

Then add:

1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp. salt ( I usually don't put this in)
5 to 6 c. Flour( it depends on the day, sometimes you use all of it, I stop at 5 c. And feel the dough, it should be a little sticky, if too sticky, I add some more).

Now add: 1 pkg. M&M's, and 1 bag chocolate chips(if only using the chips use 1 1/2 bag).  I use about a 1" cookie scoop or can roll into balls, and put them on an ungreased cookie sheet.    Bake at 350F.  For about 8 -10 min.  Do not over bake, they should look a little under baked.
This Recipe makes about 7 dozen cookies.  
*hint:  if your cookies look flat, they don't have enough flour, add a little more or if they stay looking like a hockey puck, you added too much flour, add a little melted butter, it won't be the same, but should do the trick.
