Cooking Instructions

Preheat oven to 365 degrees F. Arrange oven racks so that your cookie rack is in the middle of the oven.

1.. In a large bowl add softened butter and egg.

2.. Sprinkle the ½ teaspoon baking soda and ½ teaspoon of salt over the butter and egg.

3.. Add ¼ cup white sugar and ½ cup brown sugar.

4.. Pour 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract over the brown sugar.

5.. Mix ingredients just until evenly moist.

6.. Add 1 1/8 cups of flour and stir until incorporated.

7.. Add chocolate chips and nuts stirring until evenly blended.You may want to break up the nuts by breaking them into pieces before stirring them into the batter. I usually leave them whole and let the stirring process break up the nuts.

8.. Spray cookie sheets lightly with a aerosol oil like Pam.

9.. Use a teaspoon measure walnut size clumps of cookie dough onto cookie sheets. Do not crowd cookies. Leave space for them to spread out a little and not touch. Women seem to prefer smaller cookies. Men and children prefer larger cookies.

10.. Bake one cookie sheet at a time for about 13 minutes. Do not over bake.

11.. Cool cookie sheets on wire racks. Separate the cookies from the cookie sheets with a spatula or pancake turner before they cool completely.

12.. Store in closed container at room temperature. As with all quality baked goods chocolate chip cookies taste best if eaten within 24 hours of being baked. After 24 hours the texture and taste of the cookies degenerates.

Recipe Notes
