TOLL HOUSE COOKIES

2 ¼ cup all purpose flour
¾ cup of granulated sugar
1 tsp baking soda
¾ cup packed brown sugar
1 tsp. Salt 1 tsp. Vanilla extract
1 cup (2 sticks of butter or margarine soften)
2 large eggs
2 cups nestle choc chips (1 bag)
1 cup chopped nuts



Preheat oven to 375 F

Combine flour, baking soda and salt. In a small bowl,. Beat together butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar, vanilla extract and eggs in a large bowl till creamy. Add chocolate chips and nuts to the dry ingredients then slowly add the butter batter. It should come out very stiff and hard to stir, I use my hands during this stage making sure all is mixed well.

Drop by spoonfuls onto a ungreased cookies sheet and bake for 9-11 minutes. I always add about a tsp. of Clabber Girl Baking Powder to make them rise. You may have to adjust your temperature as my oven runs hot. I bake these cookies at 350F.
