Betty Crocker Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

Chocolate Chip Cookies - Betty Crocker's 1969 Recipe

My mom has used this recipe for 40 years now and it is the best chocolate chip cookie recipe I have ever had. The cookie is crisp around the edges and yet chewy at the same time. I will occasionally omit the nuts due to food allergies for those I'm feeding. I get alot of people questioning how all my cookies are the same size, I'm old school and will still use a teaspoon or tablespoon and my fingers to slide the cookie dough off the spoon. No need for fancy ice cream scoops if you don't want to. :) This will surely become a favorite of yours once you give it a try....

1

cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans recommended)
1

(12 ounce) package semi-sweet chocolate chips
