Recipe: Chocolate Chip Cookies

I'm a little embarrassed to admit this, but prior to yesterday I had never made chocolate chip cookies from scratch. So this is one of the recipes I tried for my goal of trying out 10 new recipes. You can also substitute all ingredients with organic ingredients. Enjoy!

Chocolate Chip Cookies
- 2 1/4 cups of flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

* Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees. Stir flour, baking soda and salt together. Set aside. In separate bowl beat butter, sugar and brown sugar at medium speed until creamy. Add vanilla and eggs to creamy mixture at low speed. Gradually blend dry mixture into creamy mixture. Stir in chocolate chips. Drop dough by tablespoon onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 8-10 minutes.
