Soft and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

I have tried a lot of different Chocolate chip cookie recipes looking for just the right one. One that will stay soft and chewy even after a couple of days. I never really found the perfect one for us so I decided to tinker with a Hershey recipe until I got it right and I think I finally have. 

These are the best ones I have made so far, at least, that's what my family says. So I decided to put it to the test. I took some to work and they loved them. One of my managers couldn't get enough and another said they where so good I should open a bakery lol [heres to dreaming] 
So I bring to you what I think is my best Soft and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe.

What you need:

1 cup unsalted butter [softened]
1 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips
[ 1 cup chopped nuts - optional]

Peanut Butter Truffles

These are one of my daughters favourite things. I was so busy at Christmas, I never had a chance to make them and she has been bugging me for weeks, so I finally gave in. I wanted to make heart shaped ones for valentines day but she wanted the standard round balls so here is the recipe for Peanut Butter Truffles. By the way, they are half gone and its only been 2 days lol

What you will need:
1/4 cup butter [softened]
2 cups smooth peanut butter
3 1/2 cups granulated sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups chocolate chips [I used milk but you can use semi-sweet or white if you prefer]
1 tsp maple flavoured extract [optional]
vegetable oil [optional]
cookie sheet, wax paper
