mrs. fields cookies

i might like these chocolate chip cookies better than the "one clove" blogsite recipe post. they turned out gooey and chocolately ... the best combo.

recipe
1lbs. butter
11/2c sugar
2c brown sugar
3eggs
2tsp. vanilla
6c flour
11/2tsp. soda
11/2tsp. salt
4-6c chocolate chips (milk chocolate)
2c walnuts (opt.)

preheat oven to 35o degrees. cream the butter until light and fluffy; add sugar slowly while beating butter. then add the eggs and vanilla. sift dry ingredients and add to cream mixture. mix well then add the chips. drop by ice cream scoops onto ungreased sheet, keep in balls. bake for 8-10minutes. don't overbake.

like my artistic picture? these cookies come from one of my mom's recipes. if you haven't noticed already this recipe calls for some big measurements. don't worry; i cut this recipe in half and still made 4dozen cookies! you might be wondering how i cut 3eggs in half, i decided to beat the second egg in a small bowl then just add half of the mixture (seemed to work, but if you have enough to fulfill the original measurements i would do that just in case). when it comes to baking i've learned that halving recipes doesn't always work out as successfully as cooking recipes does, so be careful. and besides halving the recipe and leaving out the walnuts i didn't make any other changes. took the cookies out at 81/2 minutes and they were delicious!
