2 cup Butter
1 1/3 cups Granulated sugar
1 2/3 cups Brown sugar (packed firmly)
1 tbsp Vanilla
4 Eggs
5 1/2 cups flour
2 tsp Salt
2 tsp Baking soda
2 cups chocolate chips
1 cup Nuts (chopped (optional)
Cream together butter and sugars. Beat in vanilla and eggs until light and fluffy. In another bowl,
combine the flour, salt and baking soda. Stir flour mixture into egg and butter mixture and blend well. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts. Divide dough into 4 pieces. Shape pieces into rolls about 8 to 10 inches long. Wrap rolls in plastic wrap or waxed paper and place in another airtight container or plastic bag. Can be stored in freezer for up to 6 months before using.
To bake cookies –
Take dough out of freezer about 20 minutes before you want to bake them so the dough can thaw enough for you to slice it. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Slice dough into 1/4 inch slices. Place on ungreased cookie sheets, about 1 inch apart. Bake for about 9-11 minutes, until cookies are browned around edges.
