Directions:

PREHEAT oven to 375° F.
Mix flour, baking soda and salt, butter, sugar, brown sugar,
and vanilla extract and eggs in large bowl mix on low speed with a mixer until creamy. 
Gradually mix in flour a half cup at a time or it will blow all over the place.
Stir in morsels and nuts.
Make circles with the dough into round sizes the shape similar to a milk jug cap or if you want large party sizes make them the size  and shape of a small egg, then place them onto a Pam sprayed greased baking sheet.
BAKE for 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown.

Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.

SLICE AND BAKE COOKIE VARIATION:
