2 cups semisweet chocolate chips (or 1 cup chocolate chips, 1 cup M&Ms)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Cream together the butter, brown sugar and regular sugar, until the mixture is light and fluffy. (It should be moist looking, more like a batter than wet sand.) Beat in the eggs, then the molasses, until just combined.
Slowly stir in the flour, salt and baking soda. Fold in the chocolate chips and any other mix-ins you desire. Use a ¼ cup measuring cup (yup, that big) to scoop out the dough. Fill it about ¾ full, and place each dough ball about 2½" apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet. (No parchment paper? No problem. It just makes cleanup easier.)
Cook for 9-11 minutes, or until outside is lightly golden. The cookies are so massive that if you take them out when they still look undercooked, they'll continue to cook a little as they cool and will be the perfect, chewy-gooey consistency.
