Chocolate Chip Cookies

This is the original Nestle Tollhouse recipe - putting it here so my girlies can find it easily:

• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• 2 cups (12-oz. pkg.) semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Notes: we rarely include nuts

             if I want it to have more dough than chips, I'll make 1 1/2 the recipe and just 2 cups chips
