TRIPLE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Melt butter in a small saucepan. Let butter cool and pour into a large mixing bowl.
• Add sugars and beat for several minutes, until mixture is creamy. Add eggs and vanilla. Beat for one minute, or until eggs dissolve into butter mixture.
• Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Add butter mixture, stirring well. Add chocolate chips and walnuts if desired. Refrigerate cookie dough for two hours or until firm.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Drop by two tablespoonfuls of dough, spaced 2 inches apart on the baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly browned and puffed up. Cool on cookie sheet until they are firm enough to put on a wire rack.
