CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

MAKES 5-6 DOZEN COOKIES

I guess everyone has their favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe. Until several years ago, mine was the Nestle Tollhouse Cookie recipe. Then, I discovered that I prefer the flavor of Baker's chocolate products (sorry Nestle). So, I now use the recipe on their semi-sweet chocolate chip package. Actually, it is the same as Nestle's but uses half the amount of salt.

INGREDIENTS

2-1/4 cups all purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

3/4 cup sugar

3/4 cup brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 eggs

2 cups (12 ounces) semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 cup chopped walnuts

Preheat oven to 375° F. Combine flour, baking soda and salt; set aside. Combine butter, sugar, brown sugar and vanilla; beat until creamy. Add eggs and beat until well combined. Gradually add flour mixture. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts. Drop by teaspoons onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 8-10 minutes.

PAN COOKIE VARIATION

Prepare dough as directed above. Spread into greased 15-1/2 x 10-1/2 x 1-inch baking pan. Bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes. Cool; cut into squares.
