The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies

This chocolate chip cookie recipe is my favorite. It's quick and easy to make, the cookies turn out plump, not flat like the Toll House cookie recipe.

2 1/2 c flour
1/4 t salt
1 t baking soda
1 c dark brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 c butter, softened
2 eggs
2 t vanilla
12 oz pkg semisweet chocolate chips
1 c chopped nuts (optional)

Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
Combine flour, salt and soda in small mixing bowl. Combine with a wire wisk and set aside.
Blend sugars in a large mixing bowl at medium speed of electric mixer. Add butter and mix well. Add eggs and vanilla. Mix at medium until just blended. Add flour mixture, chocolate chips and nuts. Blend on low speed until combined. Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to a wire rack and cool. Makes 2 1/2 to 3 dozen cookies.

I am sure they are yummy! Especially if these are the ones that you normally make.
