Barbara Bush's Chocolate Chip Cookies


I found this recipe, from our former first lady, in the local newspaper a few years ago.

Steps


Pre-heat oven to 375f and grease baking sheet.
Sift together flour , baking soda , and salt onto waxed paper.
Set aside.
In a large bowl with an electric mixer , beat butter , sugars and egg until fluffy , about 3 minutes.
Beat in hot water and vanilla.
Gradually beat in flour mixture until blended and smooth.
Stir in chocolate morsels.
Drop dough by rounded measuring teaspoonfuls onto baking sheets.
Bake 10 minutes or until golden.
Cool cookies on baking sheets placed on wire rack 1 minute , then transfer cookies from baking sheet to rack to cool.
