Chocolate Chip Cookies


2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 cup butter, softened
½ cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp. Vanilla extract
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1 12 oz. package semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)


Preheat oven to 375F. Into large bowl, measure all ingredients except chocolate chips and chopped walnuts. Mix ingredients on low speed. Beat on medium speed until well blended. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts. 

I didn't have as many walnuts to work with as I thought I did, so I threw in a little cranberry/nut trail mix to fill out the cup. It turned out to be a pretty yummy addition!


Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. 

BOOM


Cool slightly before removing from pan onto wire racks.

All ready to feed the crowd at On a Snowy Evening!


My Rating: 3/5 "They were good chocolate chip cookies, but they weren't great ones. I'd actually recommend cutting down on the amount of salt, and I'm someone who really enjoys sweet/salty combos. They're tasty and all, just a little dry."
