April 3, 2009 — -- Family recipes are a little like photo albums -- both bring back favorite memories of home and childhood.

The Woodruff Family's Secret Cookie Recipe

Makes 48 cookies

Ingredients:

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350° F.

In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugars together until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing until each is incorporated, then add vanilla.

In a separate bowl, combine cake flour, baking soda and salt. Stir with a wire whisk. Add the dry ingredients to the butter/sugar mixture all at once, and mix until they are just combined. Do not over mix.

Fold in chocolate chips with a rubber spatula. Drop 1-tablespoon-size mounds of dough onto a nonstick cookie sheet.

Bake at 350° until golden brown, about 10-12 minutes.
