Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookies

1 c. butter
3/4 c. sugar
3/4 c. brown sugar
2 eggs
2 T. hot water
1 tsp. soda
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
2 1/2 c. flour

Preheat oven to 375*. Mix butter, sugars and egg. Stir in remaining ingredients. Bake for 8-10 minutes. You should take them out while they still look uncooked.

NOTE: Great recipe. One of my favorites. I usually add about 1/2 - 3/4 c. more flour or they seem a little flat.
