Coral Chocolate Chip Cookies

Directions

In a medium bowl place the butter, sugar, and brown sugar.

Cream the ingredients together so that they are well mixed.

Add the vanilla extract and egg, and mix them in.

Sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

Add small amounts of the flour mixture to the butter mixture, and mix it in well.

Add the chocolate chips and pecans if using, and mix them in well.

Form the dough into balls that are 1inch in diameter.

Refrigerate them for ½ hour.

Preheat the oven to 325℉ (160℃).

Cover a baking sheet with baker’s parchment paper.

Place the dough balls on the sheet so that they are 1½ inches apart.

Bake the cookies for 12 to 15 minutes, or until they are brown around the edges and light brown in the center.

Let the cookies sit for 15 minutes before serving them.

Makes 20 to 24.
