chocolate chip cookies

This recipe was just like the one on the back of the chocolate chip bag. Two thing I learned from culinary classes , when making cookies, the ingredients must be at room temperature, and creaming of the butter and sugars is very important. Most people just mix them together and say it's good enough, but creaming them until they are light and fluffy makes a much better cookie. I baked one pan of cookies just as the recipe read, but I find the cookies to spread too thin while baking and it gives you a flat cookie. So I recommend you add 1/4 cup more flour to the recipe, it will make a more solid cookie.
