Chocolate Chip Cookies

1 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 cup packed brown sugar

½ cup granulated sugar
2 eggs

½ tsp vanilla
2 cups flour

1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt.

2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

• Beat butter or margarine with brown sugar, and granulated sugar. 
• Beat in eggs and vanilla.
• Gradually blend dry ingredients into creamed mixture.
• Add chocolate chips and nuts.
• Drop by tablespoons onto ungreased cookie sheet.
• Bake at 350 for 8 to 10 minutes (for soft and chewy).
• Once cooled down place in a air tight container, and they will stay soft.

For a change I like to use 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate and 1 cup of peanut butter chips. Instead of the full 2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips.
