Vanilla Rich Chocolate Chip Cookies!

     Two batches of cookies in a row? I think so!!! I just couldn't stop with one cookies recipe when I flipped the page over in Parents Magazine and saw another McCormick cookie recipe! I love cookies haha! Zaiah loves to make chocolate chip cookies with me....mostly because he enjoys running the mixer and eating the chocolate chips before I can even get them into the batter! 

     The only thing that makes these cookies different than regular chocolate chip cookies is the amount of vanilla it calls for. i love love the smell of vanilla extract so this was just the prefect recipe for me to come across! Just as the double chocolate chunk mint cookies i left the walnuts out...i guess i just don't like putting nuts into my cookies. I used milk chocolate instead of semi-sweet chocolate chips, the milk chocolate ones are my favorite!

3 1/4 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
3/4 tsp. salt
