Chocolate Chip Cookies

Sheldon is the chocolate chip cookie fan in this house. I like them but could live without them. He said this recipe was WAY better than Better Homes and Gardens. (We left out the nuts.)

Ingredients

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons hot water
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped walnuts

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

2. Cream together the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Dissolve baking soda in hot water. Add to batter along with salt. Stir in flour, chocolate chips, and nuts. Drop by large spoonfuls onto ungreased pans.

3. Bake for about 10-12 minutes in the preheated oven, or until edges are nicely browned.

  1. I have had really good luck with making chocolate chip cookies that have a good amount of brown sugar in them. It really gives them a rich flavor.
    I will have to try this recipe too!
