Toll House Cookies

This is the traditional Toll House recipe. I got it from my ex-sister in law (Tammy) as this was her cookie recipe of choice. They are very buttery/greasy. They're good, but we prefer our extraordinary chocolate chip cookies. -- Stacy

Ingredients:

2 1/4 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1 cup softened butter
3/4 cups sugar
3/4 cups firmly packed brown sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
2 eggs
1/2 of 24 oz. (2 cups) bag semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 375° F. In small bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt. In large bowl, combine butter, sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla. Beat until creamy. Beat in eggs. Gradually add flour mixture. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts. Drop by level measuring tablespoon onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 9-11 minutes. Makes 5 dozen cookies.

Notes:

This, like any cookie recipe, is even more easily made using a Kitchen Aid mixer.
