Mrs. Field's Chocolate Chip Cookies

The original recipe is quite large so I sometimes cut it to a third of the original.

1 lb butter (2 c.) or 10 2/3 T butter
1 c. sugar or 1/3 c. sugar
1 ½ c. brown sugar or ½ c. brown sugar
3 eggs or 1 egg
2 T. vanilla or 2 t. vanilla
6 c. flour or 2 c. flour
1 ½ t. salt or ½ t. salt
1 ½ t. baking soda or ½ t. soda
6 c. choc chips or 2 c. choc chips
2 c. chopped nuts or 2/3 c. nuts

Combine dry ingredients. Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs and vanilla. Mix in dry ingredients; dough will be stiff. Add chocolate chips and nuts. (I never use the nuts.) Scoop and bake at 350* for about 7 - 9 minutes. Taste best when completely cooled.
