Ingredients

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp salt

1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened

3/4 cup granulated sugar

3/4 cup packed brown sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 eggs

2 cups (12 oz. package) chocolate morsels

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400�F. Combine flour, baking soda and salt in bowl.

Beat butter, granulated and brown sugars, and vanilla in large bowl until creamy. Add eggs one at a time until smooth.

Gradually add dry ingredients. When well blended add morsels and nuts. I prefer to hand stir at this point not to break or melt the chocolate morsels.

Drop by tablespoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets, keeping about 2" apart. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes until golden brown. Cool on baking sheet for a couple of minutes and transfer to wire rack until completely cool, being sure to eat at least one while warm to ensure quality control!
