Chocolate Chip Cookies

       

       Chocolate chip cookies are forever - and this one has my son's approval! At seventeen, he is considered an expert on chocolate chip cookies.
       
        2 1/2 Cups Flour
        1 teaspoon Baking Soda
        1 teaspoon Salt
        1 Cup (2 sticks) margarine or butter, softened to room temperature
        1 Cup Golden Brown Sugar
        1/2 Cup granulated Sugar
        2 teaspoons Vanilla (pure)
        2 large Eggs
        2 Cups Semi-Sweet Chocolate chips
        1/2 Cup Walnut pieces (chopped)
       
        Beat margarine or butter and sugar until smooth. Add rest of ingredients (all but the chocolate chips and nuts) and mix well. Add chocolate chips and nuts and stir through batter. Chill.
       
        Preheat oven to 375o F.
       
        Drop dough by rounded tablespoon onto ungreased cookie sheet. Place in middle of oven. Bake at 375o F. until golden (cooked in center). Approximately 10-12 minutes. Cool slightly before moving to a cooling rack

        Serve warm with cold milk for best effect.
