Chocolate Chip Cookies

This is the classic Nestle Tollhouse recipe that I made into ice cream sandwiches in honour of Cindy's birthday on the weekend. The perfect summer treat!

Makes 60 cookies

2 1/4 cups flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup butter, softened

3/4 cup sugar

3/4 cup brown sugar, packed

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 eggs

2 cups chocolate chips

1 cup chopped nuts, optional

Preheat the oven to 375 F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or Silpat sheets.

In a small bowl,  combine flour, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl or stand mixer, beat butter, sugar, brown sugar and vanilla until creamy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Gradually beat in the flour mixture until combined. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts.

Use a cookie scoop or tablespoons to transfer dough onto the cookie sheets.

Bake for 9 to 11 minutes.
