This was a very old recipe when my mama got it from her best friend in the early 1960's. I have not found a better recipe for chocolate chip cookies, period!

Category: Cookies & Brownies
    Prep Time:       Cook Time:   10 - 12 minutes    Total Time:  

Originally From Doris Cooper’s mother, Grace Leach

Ingredients:

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
1/2 tsp water
2 large eggs
2 cups Semi-Sweet Chocolate chips
1 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Preheat oven to 375° F. Mix everything except the chocolate and nuts. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts. This is a stiff dough. Drop by spoonfuls onto buttered baking sheets.

Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.

Note: Mrs. Leach mixed the dry ingredients in one bowl, then mixed the liquid in another, combining the two after both were blended.
