Chocolate Chip Cookies

So, it is over 90 degrees already this morning.  Humidity is very high and I am baking a batch of cookies to put in the freezer.  Today I am making good old fashioned chocolate chip cookies.   This is my go to crowd pleaser recipe.

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 minutes in the preheated oven, or until edges are nicely browned.
