Recipe: Cookie Jar Recipe

Hi Charlotte;
I knew I had this somewhere and finally found it.
COOKIE JAR RECIPE
A delicious cookie recipe that provides a simple base recipe, but allows you the flexibility of creating a different cookie every time you bake.
2 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup parkay soft margarine
1 cup sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
Mix flour, baking soda and salt in small bowl. Beat parkay and sugars in large bowl with kitchenaid mixer until fluffy. Blend in eggs and vanilla. Add flour mixture, beat until blended.
Stir in: Variations of your choice. Drop by rounded tablespoon onto ungreased cookie sheets.
Bake at 375* for 8-10 minutes. Cool 2 minutes. Remove from cookie sheets, cool on wire racks. Makes 5 dozen.
Variations:Chunky Chocolate chip cookies: Stir in 2 cups semi-sweeet real
chocolate chips.
Peanut Butter and Chocolate chip Cookies: Mix 1/2 cup peanut butter with parkay and stir in 2 cups milk chocolate chips.
Double Chocolate Brownie Cookies: Mix 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa with flour mixture, stir in 2 cups semi-sweet chips.
Toffee Crunch Cookies: Stir in 1 cup each milk chocolate chips and english toffee bits.
Easy Frosted Cookies: After baking, frost and sprinkle with your favorite decorative candies.

When they say to use a kitchenaid mixer, I guess they mean the dough is too thick for a hand mixer. Any stand mixer should work.
