The Very Best Chocolate Chip Cookies!

My mom's famous cookie recipe! It is huge and makes a ton of cookies. I have halved it before a couple times- sometimes successfully, sometimes not. Best just to make the whole thing and give some away! (In the pic above, we dipped half in chocolate)

6 Cups Flour

1 LB Butter

2 Cups Brown Sugar

1 1/2 Cups White Sugar

3 Eggs

1 1/2 tsp. Salt

1 1/2 tsp. Baking Soda

4 Cups Chocolate Chips (good ones like girhadelli, or even better get a big chocolate bar around 60% and chop into chunks)

2 Cups Nuts (I use Pecans- roughly chopped)

2 tsp. Vanilla

Cream Butter and Sugars, then add Eggs and Vanilla. Beat 3-4 minutes.

Mix Flour, Salt and Baking Soda in a separate bowl, then add gradually to sugar mixture.

Stir in Chocolate and Nuts.

Line cookie sheet with parchment paper. Drop large spoonfuls of dough onto sheet.

Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes. I usually bake longer til lightly browned.
