I’ve made lots of cookies in the past however the dough usually comes from my old friend Mr. Pillsbury. This time I thought I would put some extra time and effort into it and make cookies from scratch. Pretty easy and definitely tastier! All I did was slightly alter the Toll House recipe.

My version of cookie yummers:

• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup (2 sticks, 1/2 pound) butter, softened
• 3/4 cup granulated [white] sugar
• 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 eggs
• 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 3/4 Hershey’s Chipits Skor
• 3/4 cup chopped nuts

Combine ingredients. Bake at 350° for 9-11 minutes. Let stand for 2 minutes.
