Chocolate Chip Cookies

What You'll Need
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup butter, softened
2 large eggs,beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Optional - 1 cup chopped pecans, or chopped walnuts

Method To Savour
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Mix sugar, brown sugar, butter, vanilla and eggs in a large bowl. Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt. The dough will be very stiff.
- Stir in chocolate chips. You can add the pecans, or other nuts, at this time if desired.
- Keep stirring and folding the chocolate chips and nuts into the dough until they are evenly dispersed.
- Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheet. The chocolate chip cookies need to be this far apart because the dough spreads during cooking.
- Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until light brown.
- Allow cookies to cool before storing.
