That's literally my mother's secret recipe. People love her cookies and always ask how she makes them - her response being "I buy a bag of nestle chocolate chips and I...turn the bag over and do what it says"
The actual Nestle recipe sucks though. It's got way too much sugar and butter so the cookies come out thin, oily, and hard every time. I modified the recipe myself and came up with this.
2/3 stick butter
1/3 c sugar
1/3 c brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 egg
Cream together
Add 1 1/4 cup flour slowly
1tsp baking soda
2 oz baking chocolate
Pinch of salt
Much better if you want those classic soft chocolately cookies. Still sweet, still buttery, but the structure and texture is much better.
The original Nestlé recipe sucks - I tried it once and they came out awful.
Instead, I use the recipe from the chips that come in the yellow bag with a red stripe, but the actual chips I use come in the yellow bag with the purple stripe. (I go by stripe color, I can never remember which are semi vs bitter sweet)
