My Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients:
2 c flour
1/2 t baking soda
1/4 t salt
3/4 c butter, softened
1 c brown sugar
1/4 c white sugar
1 T vanilla
1 egg
1 egg yolk
1 1/2 c choc chips
1/2-3/4 c chopped nuts (optional)

Directions
Mix flour soda and salt. In another bowl cream butter and sugars. blend in vanilla, egg and egg yolk until creamy. Mix in dry ingredients until just blended. Stir in chips (and nuts) by hand. Bake @ 325 for 12 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. They WILL look slightly doughy in the center. This is what makes them chewy. Cool on cookie sheets 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks.
