Recipe and Baking Directions:
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
2 cups (one twelve ounce package) - Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels
1 cup of chopped nuts
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine flour, baking soda and salt in a small bowl. In a separate bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract. Next, add eggs one at a time (no shells!) beating well after each addition. Slowly beat in the flour mixture. Last, but certainly not least, stir in the Nestle Chocolate Morsels. Once all of the ingredients have been combined and well mixed, drop by rounded tablespoon onto ungreased cookies sheets. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown. Enjoy!
