Chocolate Chip Cookies

 
My absolute favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe is the one on the back of Nestle Toll House chocolate chip packages.  For Valentine's Day I shaped the mixture into hearts.  Below is the recipe:
 

• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 cup butter or margarine, softened
• 3/4 cups granulated sugar
• 3/4 cups packed brown sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• 1 (12 ounce) packageNESTLE® TOLL HOUSE® Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels
• 1 cup chopped nuts

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
2. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt in small bowl. Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract in large mixer bowl until creamy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in morsels and nuts. Drop by rounded tablespoon onto ungreased baking sheets.
3. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.

Enjoy!
