The old Gary Cooper movie, Sgt. York, is a family favorite with our entire team. In one scene Ma asks the blessing and says, "Lord bless these vittles we done got...". Hence, the name of our recipe collection.

Wilkes Chocolate Chip Cookies

The Wilkes Team

1 C butter, softened
3/4 C plus 2 TB sugar
3/4 C brown sugar
2 eggs
1 TB vanilla extract
3 1/3 C flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
2 C chocolate chips

Lightly cream butter and sugars in a mixer with flat paddle.  Add eggs and vanilla and mix until smooth.

Combine dry ingredients.  Alternately add dry ingredients and chocolate chips.  Mix until evenly combined.

Pinch off 1" pieces, roll into balls, place on lightly greased cookie sheets.  Flatten to 1/2" thickness.  Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes or until just starting to brown.  Don't over bake!!

The Wilkes Team has made these for us on several occasions and they are the best chocolate chip cookies!  Sarah Wilkes is the queen of making these cookies!  This recipe always reminds Mommy of the Wilkes Team and our dear friends in Virginia.

Love Always,
Mommy
