Equipment

  • 3 large 18x26" cookie sheet pans
  • 1 electric mixer
  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • 1 wooden spoon
  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons
  • 1 spatula
  • 1 nut chopper if nuts are not previously chopped

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 3 1/2 cups UNBLEACHED all-purpose flour (bleached flour toughens baked goods)
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 2 tsp. hot water I omitted this
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup walnuts chopped (I omitted this) (If using, measure after chopping)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • Cream together the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla, salt and baking soda with an electric mixer.
  • Stir in flour, chocolate chips, and nuts (if desired) with a wooden spoon until mixture is very thoroughly mixed.
  • Roll into balls and place on cookie sheets that have been sprayed with cooking spray.
  • Bake 12-15 minutes at 350 degrees or until done.
  • Rotate cookie sheets on racks every seven minutes of baking time.
  • Cool completely.

Notes

NOTE: The original recipe called for the baking soda to be dissolved in the hot water. You can do this if you desire and add it in with the ingredients you cream with an electric mixer.
NOTE: My oven took 21 minutes to bake these cookies.
