Abbey's Chocolate Chip Cookies

Abbey's Chocolate chip cookies. Recipe from Capitol Cookies cookbook. It's buttery and chewy. I didn't have any nuts and didn't have enough chocolate. But still very good.


































Ingredients (makes about 3 1/2 dozen cookies):
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 package semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
1 teaspoon baking powder or baking soda
1 cup butter
2 eggs
1 cup chopped nuts


Mix flour with baking powder and salt. Beat butter until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in sugars. Mix in eggs and vanilla. Stir in flour mixture until well blended. Stir in chips and nuts.














Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets, placing cookies about 2 inches apart. Bake at 375 degrees for 8 minutes or until lightly browned.
