chocolate chip cookies

so yes, i am a lazy blogger. so here is a recipe for the cookies i made yesterday

Combine:

2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt

Stir and set aside.

Mix:

1 cup butter (slightly melted)
1 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups chocolate chips

1 cup chopped pecans (optional)

In a large bowl,  mix the partially melted butter and sugars until the mixture is fluffy and forms little peaks. (You melt the butter a little so that it, in turn, melts the sugars more, resulting in a lighter cookie) Beat in egg and vanilla. Mix 3 or 4 minutes. Mix in flour slowly and then stir in the chocolate chips and nuts.

Drop by small spoon onto lightly greased baking sheet. Bake at 350ºF (190ºC) for about 12 minutes. Cool for a couple of minutes on the baking sheet and then put on paper towel to finish cooling.

Makes about 3 1/2 dozen
