Chocolate Chip Cookies My Way!

This recipe is an upscale version of original Toll House Cookies.  We were visiting Disney World several years ago.  We stopped at the Original Nestle Toll House Cookie Store.  I've used this recipe over and over again, with  "slight" changes!

2 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter, softened   "not margarine"
3/4 cup white sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 cap full of vanilla extract
2 eggs
"2"  12 oz packages of semi sweet chocolate chips
1 cups nuts (optional)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  In a small bowl, combine flour, soda and salt.  In a separate larger bowl, combine butter, both sugars and vanilla.  Mix well with electric beater.  Add the flour mixture and beat until combined.  Add chocolate chips and nuts and beat until mixed thoroughly. 

Flour your hands. Spoon about a rounded tablespoon of batter into your hand. Roll into a round ball and place on cookie sheet.  Depending on the size of your cookie, sheet, you can place between 12 and 15 on each sheet pan.  Bake about 10 to 12 minutes, until golden brown.  Remove cookies and cool.  Continue, using 2 cookie sheets until all batter is gone. 

Store in a cool dry place.......................  Or eat immediately with a glass or cold milk!   Yea, right............  There are usually a dozen or so gone, while they are still warm!!!!!
