Chocolate Chip Cookies
1 cup butter
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 1/4 cup flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
2 cups chopped nuts (optional)
2 cups chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 375.
Cream the butter. Mix in the sugars and beat well. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat until light and fluffy.
Add the flour, salt and baking soda (sprinkling the salt and soda around so it's not all in one spot) and mix. Mix in the nuts and chocolate chips.
Drop by spoonfuls onto greased cookie sheets and press down with a wet drinking glass (or your fingers) to flatten. Bake 10-12 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
