Sue's Notes:
I changed the Tollhouse recipe a little bit because sometimes they were flat. The secret of great chocolate chip cookies is to use real butter and don't use a mixer. I always use a ceramic bowl and a wooden spoon. (My grandma taught me that and I always get tons of compliments when I make my cookies.)

Directions

Mix together well 2 sticks softened butter, 1 cup sugar, and 1 cup brown sugar. Add eggs one at a time until well blended. Add vanilla. Sift together 3 cups flour, 1 tsp. salt, and 1 tsp. baking soda. Add dry ingredients gradually, then add chocolate chips and walnuts. Drop by teaspoonful onto airbake cookie sheets and bake at 350 for 12 minutes. Remove onto a cooling rack. (Be sure to put cookie batter onto cooled cookie sheets).

looks GREAT! ... Back in the 60s I went to a really neat cooking class (ok so I was 12 LOL) that was all about cookies. The one demonstrator said what you say.. NO MIXER. The other suggested using a stand mixer and beating the sugar eggs and liquids for a full 5 or ore minutes at high until the mix was totally creamy and fluffy then folding in the dry ingredients. I have never decide which i liked better. So if I want thick and chewy.. I use a bowl. If I want lighter and fluffier I use the mixer. This recipie looks good no matter what!

I just made these and they turned out; "Yummy!" I especially liked the consistency of the dough! I love chocolate chip cookies with nuts, but my husband prefers them without nuts, so I left those out. Thanks for sharing! Oh, and on what temperature do you normally bake these? I couldn't find the temp listed in your recipe......... Thanks Sue!

Hi I made your recipe for the chocolate chip cookies. I bake a lot and I love cookies! The consistency of the cookies was great but I found that baking these cookies at 350 made the cookies hard. I like soft cookies so next time I'm going to bake them at 375 and see how they turn out.

Callene, It could be the difference in our ovens because mine are never hard. Maybe you should try cooking them at 350 and cook them for fewer minutes.
