Amy Caroline's Chocolate Chip Cookies

Amy

ingredients

2 sticks of butter, room temperature
3/4 cup white sugar
3/4 cup DARK BROWN sugar (that is important!)
Cream together
Add:
1 Tablespoon vanilla
2 eggs
Mix well.
Add:
3 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Mix well.
Add:
1 bag of chocolate chips
1 cup finely crushed walnuts or pecans (optional -- this is important too. Crush them very fine so that there are only small chunks and a lot of powder. It gives the flavor of the nut but doesn’t not overwhelm the flavor of the cookie overall)

1
Bake in a preheated oven at 375 degrees for about 12 minutes. It should still appear gooey in the middle, otherwise it will overcook and get tasteless. Depending on what kind of brown sugar you use the cookie might be lighter in color, so do not worry if it is not overly brown.

Don’t forget to lick the mixer!
