The original, the authentic Nestle Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookies

Makes 4 to 5 dozen 

• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup (2 sticks, 1/2 pound) butter, softened
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 eggs
• 1 12-ounce package NESTLE TOLL HOUSE
     Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels
• 1 cup chopped walnuts

Preheat oven to 375°.

Combine flour, baking soda and salt in small bowl. Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla in large mixer bowl. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition; gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in morsels and nuts. Drop by rounded teaspoonful onto ungreased baking sheets (I use 2 sheets so as one comes out of the oven, I pop in the other).

BAKE for 10 minutes or until golden brown. Let stand for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.

HINT: Always use Air-Insulated pans for perfect cookies every time.

Bon appetit!
