Chocolate Chunk Cookies

2 1/4 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
2 sticks butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
1 tablespoon light cream
12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350�F.

In a bowl sift the flour and baking soda. In a large bowl with an electric mixer cream butter with sugars until fluffy; add vanilla and mix well.

Beat in egg and cream. On low speed gradually add flour mixture in 3 batches, heating until combined well. Stir in chocolate chips.

Drop by heaping tablespoonfuls onto greased cookie sheets; flatten cookies slightly with back of a fork.

Bake 12 to 13 minutes or until the edges are golden, (cookies will still feel soft). Cool for 2 minutes on cookie sheets, then remove to wire racks to cool completely.

Yield: about 2 dozen.
