World's Best Chocolate Chip Cookies

(Note: this pic is not of the actual cookies. I will take a pic next time I make them)
Here's a little background on me: When I got married, I did not know how to cook. There were about two things that I knew how to make and neither one is anything that I kept in my repertoire. My love for cooking started with baking; primarily chocolate chip cookies. I have switched favorite recipes 3 times now. The first was a Betty Crocker recipe; the second was the famous Toll House recipe; but now it is this one. Maybe one day it will change again, but this one is pretty perfect. (Well, since I altered it a smidge.) But, here is the recipe from one who knows a thing or two about chocolate chip cookies.

World's Best Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

(1 servings)

3/4 c Granulated sugar
1 c Brown sugar
1 c Butter
1 tb Vanilla
2 Eggs, slightly beaten
3 c Flour
1/2 ts Baking soda
3/4 ts Salt
3 c Semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 c Chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions

This recipe is said to have come from a famous cookie maker. So make, bake, and compare to see if these cookies aren't "the real thing." One feature that distinguishes these cookies from traditional chocolate chip cookies is their perfect size. It comes from using a small size ice cream scoop to drop them onto the cookie sheet.
Preheat oven to 350°.
In a large bowl, combine sugars; add in butter and cream together with the sugar. Add vanilla and eggs; mix together.
In a separate bowl sift the dry ingredients and add to the creamed mixture. Mix well; the dough will be stiff. Add the chocolate chips and nuts (if using).
Line the cookie sheets with baking parchment or wax paper. Drop dough with a small ice cream scoop onto the sheets. Bake 10-12 minutes at 350°. Remove from oven and cool on wire racks.
Variation: For ice cream sandwiches, turn one cookie face down, place a scoop of ice cream on it and top with another cookie. Yield: 2 1/2 dozen.
