Heirloom Chocolate Chippers

Tradition is a fine thing. Great recipes handed down generation to generation. This is a recipe that I can only hope my future grandchildren might make. For me of course....

Chocolate Chip Cookies

3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 egg
2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup coarsely chopped nuts
1 package semi-sweet chocolate chips (2 cups)

1.	Heat oven to 375ºF.
2.	Mix sugars, butter and egg in large bowl. Stir in flour, baking soda and salt (dough will be stiff). Stir in nuts and chocolate chips.
3.	Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls about 2 inches apart onto un-greased cookie sheet.
4.	Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until light brown (centers will be soft). Cool slightly; remove from cookie sheet. Cool on wire rack.
